The present invention discloses a novel method for preparing and purifying 4-(6-Amino-purin-9-yl)-2(S)-hydroxy-butyric acid methyl ester. The preparation started from cheap and easily available L-malic acid, which was transformed to intermediate I after simultaneous protection of the groups of 1-carboxyl and 2-hydroxyl. The intermediate I was selectively reduced to intermediate alcohol II, whose hydroxyl group was further transformed to an easily leaving group to afford intermediate III. The intermediate III was nucleophilically substituted with adenine to afford intermediate IV The intermediate IV was deprotected and methyl-esterified simultaneously in methanol in the presence of an acid or a base to afford crude 4-(6-Amino-purin-9-yl)-2(S)-hydroxy-butyric acid methyl ester, which was purified by recrystallization to afford the purified product. Comparing with the prior preparation methods, the present method has advantages in low cost, mild conditions, high retention of the chiral center during the reaction, high productivity, great improvement in the quality and yield of the product and great decrease in cost, and thus is suitable for the production on a large scale.
本发明公开了一种制备和纯化 4-(6-氨基-嘌呤-9-基)-2(S)-羟基丁酸甲酯的新方法。该制备方法从廉价易得的 L-苹果酸开始,在同时保护 1-羧基和 2-羟基后将其转化为中间体 I。中间体 I 被选择性地还原成中间体醇 II,其羟基进一步转化为易离去基团,得到中间体 III。中间体 IV 在甲醇中,在酸或碱的存在下同时进行脱保护和甲基酯化,得到粗制的 4-(6-氨基-嘌呤-9-基)-2(S)-羟基丁酸甲酯。与之前的制备方法相比,本方法具有成本低、条件温和、反应过程中手性中心保留率高、生产率高、产品质量和收率大大提高、成本大大降低等优点,适合大规模生产。
