The application belongs to the technical field of compound synthesis, and particularly relates to a preparation method of dipyrone with controlled content of 4-N
methylene sulfonic acid sodium dipyrone
impurity, which comprises the following steps: dissolving 4-formylaminoantipyrine in water, and then adding
dimethyl sulfate and lye to react to obtain a
methylation liquor; the obtained
methylation liquor is hydrolyzed and neutralized, and then is left to stand and separate into
layers, the upper 4-methylaminoantipyrine oil is cooled and crystallized to obtain 4-methylaminoantipyrine
solid; the obtained 4-methylaminoantipyrine
solid,
ethanol,
sodium pyrosulfite,
activated carbon and
formaldehyde are mixed to react to obtain dipyrone; the
mass percentage of 4-aminoantipyrine in the 4-formylaminoantipyrine is not more than 1.5%. The content of 4-N
methylene sulfonic acid sodium dipyrone (unknown
impurity) in the prepared dipyrone is less than or equal to 0.05%, which meets the requirements of the European
Pharmacopoeia.
