The green synthesis of liranaftate in ionic liquids
Abstract
6-methoxy-2-methylaminopyridine was synthesized from 2,6-dichloropyridine;5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl-sulfuryl chloride was synthesized from 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthol; with the catalysis of K2CO3, substitution reaction was happened between 6-methoxy-2-methylaminopyridine and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2- naphthyl-sulfuryl chloride, which generated liranaftate whose structure was confirmed by IR, 1HNMR, MS. In the experiment, the total recovery was 73%, and purity of HPLC is 99.7%. The method presented here has the advantages of mild condition, simple operation, easy isolation, high yield and environmental benignity. Moreover, the ionic liquid, as the reaction medium, can be easily recycled and reused.
