吡啶环2的合成研究
最初路线
  • 化合物3化合物4先制备化合物5,再化合物6关环得到化合物1,最后进行氯代得到化合物2,总收率10%

关键杂质谱
  • 杂质7,来源于化合物1的水解,也可能来源于化合物2的水解
  • 杂质8,来源于不同的关环方向
  • 杂质9,来源于哪里?是化合物2氰基水解吗?

杂质8的来源机理
  • 化合物5和化合物6反应得到化合物10,关环方向不一样,可以得到杂质8

杂质9的来源机理
  • 最初认为杂质9的来源是氰基水解,但是弱碱碳酸钾的使用,以及低温的反应,不可能产生含量很大的杂质9
  • 推测杂质9的来源路径如下
  • 氰基被进攻,还是酯基被酰胺进攻,是形成杂质9的关键,两者的影响因素是碱的强弱。

新路线的建立
  • 根据杂质9来源的可能机理,推测采用对称的丙二腈代替氰基乙酰胺,可以定向得到目标物。
  • 推测如下,化合物14,就是原路线的化合物10,此时没有酰胺和氰基之分,都是氰基,选择性唯一,先得到化合物15,再开环、关环得到化合物1

新合成路线如下

实验操作
To a clean dry reactor equipped with overheaded mechanical stirrer and condenser, ethyl acetoacetate(0.4 L, 1 equiv), ethanol (0.82 L, 2 vol) and DMFDMA(0.46 L, 1.03 equiv) were charged. The mixture was warmed to an internal temperature of 41−43 °C for 5 to 6 h until ≤2% of ethyl acetoacetate remained by GC. 
The reaction mixture was cooled to 20−25 °C and triethylamine (44.4 mL, 0.1 equiv) was added followed by slow addition of a solution of malononitrile (235 g in 1.77 L of ethanol, 1.1 equiv), cautiously maintaining the temperature between 25 and 36 °C. The mixture was stirred for 16 h at 20 °C until less than 5% area of enaminone 5 remained by HPLC (315 nm). 
Acetic acid (217 mL, 1.2 equiv) was added slowly at 20−25 °C to pH 4−5, and a dense precipitate was formed. The mixture was warmed to 70−75 °C, and water (5.6 L) was charged. The suspension was cooled down to 10 °C over 3 h and stirred for 15 min at 0 °C. The product was filtered, washed three times with water (3 × 1.25 L), and dried at 50 °C under vacuum to afford 539 g (82% yield) of the desired product 1 as an orange solid pure by HPLC at 99.5% and 100.8% w/w NMR assay
