摘要
A new route to Roflumilast, a selective phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE 4) inhibitor, is described. The synthetic procedure starts from 4-hydroxy-3-iodobenzoic acid to access the key intermediate 3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(difluoromethoxy) benzoic acid via copper-catalyzed hydroxylation and utilizes amide coupling to accomplish the synthesis of Roflumilast in 80% overall yield.
