Method for synthesizing 1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-3-formamidine hydrochloride
The present invention relates to the field of chemical synthesis, and in particular to a method for synthesizing 1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-formamidine hydrochloride, which is an important intermediate of Riociguat that is an anti-thromboembolic-disease medicine. The method is characterized in that: 3-iodo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine is used as a raw material; the raw material is reacted with fluorobenzyl bromide to form a compound (10); the compound (10) is reacted with zinc cyanide to form a compound (6); the compound (6) is reacted with sodium methoxide, ammonium chloride, acetic acid and methanol to form a compound (8); and the compound (8) is reacted with chlorine hydride gas to form 1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-formamidine hydrochloride. The method has the characteristics of cheap and readily available raw materials, high yield, mild reaction conditions and the like, and is a synthesis method having a large-scale preparation value.
