The invention discloses a method for preparing
vitamin D2 with high conversion rate and
high selectivity, and belongs to the technical field of organic
photosynthesis reaction.The method comprises the steps that an
ergosterol solution passes through a first-stage illumination reactor, the illumination
wavelength is controlled to be 254 nm, the illumination time is 20-25 min, and an
ergosterol ring-opening product reaction solution is obtained through a first photoreaction; the
ergosterol ring-opening product reaction liquid passes through a second-stage illumination reactor, the illumination
wavelength is controlled to be 365-415 nm, the illumination time is 30-35 min, and a VD2 precursor reaction liquid is obtained through a second photoreaction; the VD2 precursor reaction liquid is heated and converted into VD2 converted oil; and carrying out esterification,
crystallization,
hydrolysis and recrystallization on the VD2 conversion oil to obtain a VD2 finished product. According to the method, the conversion rate of ergosterol and the selectivity of a target product can be remarkably improved, the purity of a VD2 finished product is improved, the
impurity content is reduced, and the VD2
impurity limit requirement specified by European
Pharmacopoeia is met.
