The application belongs to the field of
medicine and
chemical industry, and particularly relates to a preparation method of
ketoprofen. 3-bromobenzoic acid is used as a starting material, and a chlorination reaction is carried out with
thionyl chloride. Then, a Friedel-Crafts reaction is carried out with
benzene under the
catalysis of aluminum
chloride. The
reaction product is subjected to a Friedel-Crafts reaction with
ethylene, an
addition reaction with
hydrobromic acid, a reaction with a cyanating agent, and then
hydrolysis under the action of an acid, so as to obtain
ketoprofen. The application provides a reasonable reaction
route, realizes the preparation of
ketoprofen by using cheap and readily available and green and environmentally-friendly reagents, avoids the use of highly corrosive, highly toxic, flammable and expensive reagents, has low requirements on equipment, reduces the operation difficulty and the burden of post-reaction treatment, and reduces the cost. The application is a simple, green and economic process
route for preparing ketoprofen, the obtained product has high yield and good purity, and is suitable for industrial
mass production of ketoprofen.
