introduction | dragon's blood B is a chalcone compound derived from Dai medicine dragon's blood. some studies have found that dragon's blood B has strong analgesic activity. currently, dragon's blood B is mainly extracted from Dai medicine dragon's blood. |
synthesis method | step 1: using 1,3, 5-trimethoxybenzene (I) as raw material, the reaction intermediate 2,4, 6-trimethoxybenzaldehyde (IV) is prepared by Vilsmeier-Haauc acylation reaction. In a 250ml three-mouth flask equipped with a stirrer and put into an ice bath, 8.76g(0.12mol)DMF is added, then 9.8g(0.064mol)POCl3 is slowly added to the three-mouth flask, after reaction for 0.5h to form a Vilsmeier complex, and then 10.10g(0.06mol)1,3, 5-trimethoxybenzene is slowly added to the complex reaction solution. Then remove the ice bath, install a condenser tube, move the reaction flask to a water bath at 30 ℃ for stirring for 3h to generate an intermediate, pour the intermediate reaction solution into a beaker filled with 60ml of ice water, stir and mix well with a glass rod, seal the beaker with a sealing film, put it into a refrigerator at 4 ℃ for cooling and crystallization, and take the next day to get 8.8g of rice white powder product with a yield of 74.68%. Step 2: Using p-hydroxyacetophenone (II) and benzyl chloride (III) as raw materials, the intermediate 4-benzyloxyacetophenone (V) is prepared by nucleophilic substitution reaction. At room temperature, DMF(50ml), p-hydroxyacetophenone (10g,0.0735mol), K2CO3(20.2g,0.147mol) and benzyl chloride (10.228g,0.0808mol) are sequentially added into a 250ml three-mouth flask equipped with a stirrer, then mixed and stirred at room temperature for 16h, after the reaction, the reaction mixture is poured into a beaker filled with 60ml of ice water, cooled, and then the precipitate is obtained, 16.2g of white powder target product can be obtained by drying, and the yield is 98.38%. Step 3: Using the reaction intermediates (IV) and (V) prepared in steps 1 and 2 as raw materials, the reaction intermediates 2,4, 6-trimethoxy -4 ′-benzyloxychalcone (VI) are prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction. In a 100ml grinding mouth three-neck bottle equipped with a magnetic stirrer and a condenser tube, 10ml of methanol and 4-benzyloxyacetophenone (2.26g,0.01mol) are sequentially added, a solution prepared by 30ml of methanol and potassium hydroxide (2.80g,0.10mol) is added under stirring, heated to 50 ℃, and 2,4, 6-trimethoxybenzaldehyde (1.96g,0.01mol) is added after the bulk drug is dissolved, reflux is heated and TLC monitors the reaction until the reaction is complete. Stop the reaction, wait for cooling, suction and filtration, and dry the filter residue to obtain 3.60g of yellow powdered solid substance, which is the target product with 89% yield. Step 4: Catalytic hydrogenation of (VI) is reduced to 2,4, 6-trimethoxy -4 ′-hydroxydihydrochalcone (dragon blood B, VII). In a 100ml grinding mouth three-neck flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer and a condenser tube, methanol (25ml) and 2,4, 6-trimethoxy -4 '-benzyloxychalcone (1.9g,0.005mol) are sequentially added, ammonium formate (1.8g,0.03mol), Pd-C(0.2g) and methanol (25ml) are 10% under stirring, heated to reflux, and after the reaction is completed, palladium and carbon are filtered to remove, the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain light yellow oil, an appropriate amount of acetone is added to dissolve, excess ammonium formate is filtered to remove, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain oil, vacuum drying to obtain light yellow solid substance, and column chromatography is used to separate and obtain white solid powder, namely dragon blood B1.11 g, with a yield of 70%. Longxue B, also known as 2,4, 6-trimethoxy-4 ′-hydroxydihydrochalcone, is a white powdery solid. |
