Abstract and Keywords

Abstract: Based on the original synthesis route of Onvansertib, the synthesis process of N-(2-(trifluoromethoxy)-5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-phenyl)guanidine(compound 3), a key intermediate of Onvansertib, was optimized. This process focused on the screening of reaction solvent, solvent concentration, molar ratio of materials, reaction temperature and time. The optimal synthesis process conditions for this step were obtained: 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid solution was used as solvent, the molar ratio of the reaction raw material cyanamide and 2-(trifluoromethoxy)-5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)aniline was 10:1, and the reaction was stirred for 1.0 h at 95 °C, with a yield of the product of 92.7%. The optimized process has mild reaction conditions, convenient operation, which provides a new idea for industrial production.
