Synthesis of key intermediates of β-lactamase inhibitors by microchannel technology
Microchannel technology was used to improve the synthesis efficiency of(2S,5R)-6-benzyloxy-7-oxo-1,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylic acid(Ⅰ),a key intermediate of novel β-lactamase inhibitors based on diazabicyclooctane(DBO).Through the investigation of solvent,temperature,residence time and base,the process conditions were optimized.The results show that the hydrolysis of(2S,5R)-6-benzyloxy-7-oxo-1,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylic acid benzyl ester(Ⅱ)in microchannel reactor is best conducted with acetone as a solvent and lithium hydroxide as a base at 45℃for 20 min.The product was identified by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy,13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectroscopy.The key intermediate(Ⅰ)is obtained in 95%yield.Thus this technology significantly increases the rate and yield of this reaction and makes it feasible to industrial production.
