The invention discloses a preparation method of a high-purity
halcinonide intermediate, which comprises the following steps: dissolving 21-hydroxypregna-4, 9 (11), 16-tetraene-3, 20-dione-21-acetate in 30 times of volume of
acetone, adding an acidic
reagent, cooling to-30 DEG C to 0 DEG C, dropwise adding a
potassium permanganate solution, carrying out heat preservation reaction for 1-2 hours, after the reaction is finished, filtering, and
drying to obtain the high-purity
halcinonide intermediate. Carrying out post-treatment on the obtained crude product to obtain a
reaction product D-3; dissolving the D-3 in an
organic solvent, and reacting with a bromination
reagent in the presence of an acid catalyst to obtain D-4; and dissolving the D-4 in an
organic solvent, and reacting with a
weak base reagent under the protection of
nitrogen to obtain the
halcinonide intermediate D-5. The triene acetate (21-hydroxypregna-4, 9 (11), 16-tetraene-3, 20-dione-21-acetate) (D-2) is used as a
raw material, the reaction process steps are few, meanwhile, auxiliary materials with high
toxicity are not used, the reaction
controllability is good, an intermediate and a final product are easy to purify, the purity is high, the product yield is high, the cost is low, and the method is suitable for large-scale production.
