Preparation method of 4-chloro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridine
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of 4-chloro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridine, belonging to the technical field of organic synthesis.
Background
4-chloro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridine, english name: 4-Chloro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridine, CAS:15513-48-1, an important intermediate for ebany. Ebanizine (Elbanizine), developed by avntisPharma, france, belongs to a second generation antihistamine for relieving symptoms of allergic allergies such as allergic rhinitis, and has no central nervous system side effects such as sedation and somnolence.
The synthetic routes of 4-chloro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridine are mainly divided into two types:
first kind: ammonolysis, nitration and chlorination of 2, 6-dimethyl-4-pyrone with ammonia gas to obtain 4-chloro-2, 6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridine; the reaction equation is as follows:
according to the method, ammonia is adopted for ammonolysis reaction, high temperature and high pressure are needed, aromatization is incomplete, more impurities appear, multiple purification is needed to obtain 2, 6-dimethyl-4-hydroxypyridine, then nitration reaction is carried out at 10-35 ℃, double nitro impurities easily appear, recrystallization and purification are needed, and therefore the total yield is low.
Second kind: the literature [ jmed chem,1998,41,4408-4420] uses 2, 6-dimethyl-4-pyrone to carry out ammonolysis with benzylamine, followed by catalytic hydrogenation, nitration and chlorination to give 4-chloro-2, 6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridine; the reaction equation is as follows:
although benzylamine and 2, 6-dimethyl-4-pyrone are adopted for ammonolysis reaction, high temperature and high pressure are avoided, aromatization is not thorough enough, pd/C hydrogenation debenzylation is needed, and cost is increased.
