Enzalutamide (XTANDI, enzalutamide) is an oral androgen receptor antagonist. Currently, it has been clinically studied and approved by the US FDA for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has progressed after chemotherapy, and can prolong the survival of patients. The most likely scale production route to enzalutamide: 4-Bromo-2-fluorobenzoic acid was first converted to the corresponding acid chloride , followed by amide formation, copper catalysis, esterification and other synthesis.

Reaction Conditions:

Stage #1:2-((3-fluoro-4-(methylcarbamoyl)phenyl)amino)-2-methyl propanoic acid with triethylamine in dichloromethane;toluene at 30; for 0.166667 h;
Stage #2:4-isothiocyanato 2-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile in toluene at 50 - 60; for 4 h;Temperature;Solvent;

Steps:

5 Example 5: Preparation of Enzalutamide:
The compound 9 (60.0 g, 236.1 nmol) obtained in Example 2, triethylamine (24.0 g, 237.6 nmol), 180 mL of toluene, and 120 mL of dichloromethane were added to the reaction flask, and stirred at 30°C for 10 minutes.Heat to 50°C to dissolve and clear.A solution of 4-isothiocyano-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (compound 7, 81.0 g, 355.3 nmol) in toluene (300 ml) was slowly added dropwise.After dripping, the temperature was raised to 60°C and the reaction was continued for 4 hours.TLC (dichloromethane: methanol = 50:1) dot plate to track the reaction.After the reaction, 240 mL of methanol was added to make the solution clear, 6.0 g of activated carbon was added, and the color was decolorized for 30 minutes.Concentrate to dryness, add 200 mL of dichloromethane to the oily residue, cool to 0-5°C, and stir for 1 hour.After filtration, the filtrate was washed successively with 240 mL of saturated brine and 60 mL of 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid.The water layer was separated, and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to dryness.Add 240 mL of methanol to the residue and heat to reflux to make it clear.Slowly lower the temperature to 60°C and keep it warm for 1 hour.Cool to 0-5°C and continue stirring for 12 hours.After filtering and vacuum drying at 40°C for 5 hours, 97.0 g of white crystals were obtained, the yield was 88.5%, the HPLC purity was 99.6%, and the impurity A was 0.03%.
