The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, in particular to a preparation process of a Fikatinib intermediate 4-([1, 2, 4] triazolo [1, 5-a]
pyridine-7-oxy)-3-
methylaniline, which comprises the following steps: step 1, in a
nitrogen atmosphere, carrying out
substitution reaction on a compound B and a
compound C in a formula in an alkali and
organic solvent system to obtain a compound D in a formula; step 2, adding the compound D into a reduction
catalysis solution system protected by
nitrogen, reacting at 70-120 DEG C for 8-30 hours, tracking by TLC until the reaction is complete, adding water which is 2-8 times of the volume of the compound D, and performing post-treatment and purification to obtain a
compound A; wherein the reduction
catalysis solution system comprises a
reducing agent, a catalyst and inorganic acid, the
reducing agent comprises reducing
phosphoric acid, and the catalyst comprises
iodine or
metal salt of
iodine. According to the preparation process of the 4-([1, 2, 4] triazolo [1, 5-a]
pyridine-7-oxy)-3-
methylaniline intermediate, the reaction condition is mild, the prepared product is high in yield and purity, the preparation process is
environmentally friendly, and the preparation process can be used for industrial production.
