Atovaquone synthesis

7synthesis methods
Atovaquone is an antiprotozoal mitochondrial electron transfer inhibitor, antimalarial, antipneumocystis, and is also used in the treatment of toxoplasmosis. The synthetic method is to carry out Friedd-Crafts acylation reaction of cyclohexene with acetyl chloride in the presence of aluminum trichloride to generate orange intermediate and chlorobenzene reaction to obtain 4-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclohexylmethyl ketone. It is oxidized with bromine in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to give 4-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid. In the presence of nitric acid, it reacts with 2-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone, and the resulting product is hydrolyzed in methanol and refluxed with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to obtain atovaquone.

Yield:95233-18-4 85%

Reaction Conditions:

with sulfuric acid at 15 - 16; for 0.333333 h;

Steps:

1
Cis-2-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclohexyl]-3 -hydroxy- 1,4-naphthoquinone (1 g, 2.7 mmol) was stirred in 8 ml concentrated H2SO4 at 15-16°C for 20 minutes. The reaction mixture was slowly poured into 30 g ice and further stirred for 20 minutes. The obtained solid was filtered and washed with water until the pH of the filtrate becomes in the range of 4 to 5. The resulting solid is dried at 50-55°C for 6 hours to yield 0.85 g of trans-2-[4-(4- chlorophenyl)cyclohexyl]-3-hydroxy-l,4-naphthoquinone (85% yield, 95.5 % purity).
