Cost effective, semi-continuous flow methods and systems for synthesizing the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in high yield are provided. The synthesis method that uses simple, inexpensive reagents to obtain the crucial intermediate 5-(ethyl(2-hydroxyethyl)- amino)pentan-2-one, vertical-integration of the starting material 5-iodopentan-2-one and the integration of continuous stirred tank reactors.

Numerous synthetic methods for the continuous preparation of fine chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API's) have been reported in recent years resulting in a dramatic improvement in process efficiencies. Herein we report a highly efficient continuous synthesis of the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). Key improvements in the new process include the elimination of protecting groups with an overall yield improvement of 52% over the current commercial process. The continuous process employs a combination of packed bed reactors with continuous stirred tank reactors for the direct conversion of the starting materials to the product. This high-yielding, multigram-scale continuous synthesis provides an opportunity to achieve increase global access to hydroxychloroquine for treatment of malaria.

The invention discloses a side chain, a synthesis method thereof, and a method for synthesizing hydroxychloroquine sulfate from the side chain. The synthesis method of the side chain comprises the following steps: 1, condensing N-ethylethanolamine and 5-chloro-2-pentanone to obtain a condensation product; 2, esterifying the condensation product and an acetyl reagent to obtain an esterification product; 3, reducing the esterification product to obtain a reduction product; and 4, reacting the reduction product with a halogenating agent to obtain the side chain. The synthesis method of the hydroxychloroquine sulfate comprises the following steps: 1, reacting 4-amino-7-chloroquinoline with paratoluensulfonyl chloride to obtain 4-Tos-amino-7-chloroquinoline; 2, reacting the side chain with the 4-Tos-amino-7-chloroquinoline to obtain a hydroxyquine base; and 3, reacting the hydroxyquine base with sulfuric acid to obtain the hydroxychloroquine sulfate. The synthesis method of the new side chain avoids the ammonification process and the catalytic hydrogenation process, and is safe and environmentally friendly, and the hydroxychloroquine sulfate can be obtained through low-temperature condensation of the side chain, so the quality of the above products is remarkably improved, and the production flow is simplified.
