Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the synthesis and optimization of 1-(2-chloro-1-hydroxy-3-(6-quinolinyl)propyl)-2,5-pyrrolidinedione, an intermediate of capmatinib.
METHODS This study investigated the factors influencing the preparation of the key intermediate 1-(2-chloro-1-hydroxy-3-(6-quinolinyl)propyl)-2,5-pyrrolidinedione from 6-bromoquinoline and acrolein diethyl acetal via Heck coupling, hydrogenation, hydrochloric acid hydrolysis, and chlorination. Reaction parameters including temperature, solvent, and catalyst were optimized to improve the reaction yield and product purity.
RESULTS The structure of the target product was verified by LC-MS and 1H NMR, the purity of the product was 98.8%, and the total yield was 61.6%.
CONCLUSION After optimization, the yield is significantly improved, and the raw materials are cheap and easy to obtain, which is more suitable for industrial production.
