New preparation process for the preparation of entacapone which comprises converting the 3,4-dimethoxy-5-nitrobenzoic acid into an activated derivative which is reacted with 2-cyano-N,N-diethylacetamide in the presence of a base to give 2-cyano-3-(3,4-dimethoxy-5-nitrophenyl)-N,N-diethyl-3-hydroxyacrylamide; reacting the resulting compound with MHB(OCOR)3 where R is (C1-C4)-alkyl, phenyl, or CF3; and M is a sodium, potassium or ((C1-C4)-alkyl)4N, in the presence of an appropriate solvent to give E-2-cyano-3-3,4-dimethoxy-5-nitrophenyl)-N,N-diethylacrylamide; and finally submitting the compound obtained to a demethylation reaction to yield entacapone. Both 2-cyano-3-(3,4-dimethoxy-5-nitrophenyl)-N,N-diethyl-3-hydroxyacrylamide and E-2-cyano-3-3,4-dimethoxy-5-nitrophenyl)-N,N-diethylacrylamide are new. Entacapone has industrial applicability as antiparkinson's agent.
新的恩他卡朋制备工艺包括将3,4-二甲氧基-5-硝基苯甲酸转化为活化衍生物,与2-氰基-N,N-二乙基乙酰胺在碱存在下反应,得到2-氰基-3-(3,4-二甲氧基-5-硝基苯基)-N,N-二乙基-3-羟基丙烯酰胺;将所得化合物与MHB(OCOR)3反应,其中R为(C1-C4)-烷基、苯基或CF3;M为钠、钾或((C1-C4)-烷基)4N,在适当溶剂存在下,得到E-2-氰基-3-(3,4-二甲氧基-5-硝基苯基)-N,N-二乙基丙烯酰胺;最后将所得化合物进行去甲基化反应,得到恩他卡朋。2-氰基-3-(3,4-二甲氧基-5-硝基苯基)-N,N-二乙基-3-羟基丙烯酰胺和E-2-氰基-3-(3,4-二甲氧基-5-硝基苯基)-N,N-二乙基丙烯酰胺均为新化合物。恩他卡朋作为抗帕金森病药物具有工业适用性。
