An Efficient and Practical Process for the Synthesis of Glimepiride

A novel and simple approach to the synthesis of glimepiride is reported. It involves the preparation of a carbamate of 3-ethyl-4-methyl-1 H -pyrrol-2(5 H)-one, followed by its reaction with 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonamide to produce the intermediate sulfonamide. This sulfonamide, upon reaction with phenyl (trans -4-methylcyclohexyl)carbamate, gave glimepiride. This process avoids the use of phosgene, isocyanates, or chloroformates. Furthermore, sulfonation of the aryl group was eliminated, rendering the product free of the impurities reported in earlier processes.

Preparation method of glimepiride intermediate

The invention relates to a preparation method of a glimepiride intermediate compound I, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of raw material medicines. The preparation method comprises the following steps: reacting a compound II with diphenyl carbonate under the catalysis of an alkali (referring to Synlett, 28(18), 2495-2498; 2017) to prepare a compound IX; and adding a compound IX and 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonamide according to a ratio of 1:1, adding a weak acid, adding isopropanol, and performing heating for a refluxing reaction. The invention provides the preparation methodof the glimepiride intermediate with a high purity.
