The invention relates to a cyclic preparation method of a
spirolactone key material, and belongs to the technical field of medicines. According to the method,
resource utilization is carried out on a byproduct compound 2 generated in the production process of a
spirolactone intermediate 1, and the byproduct compound 2 is converted into a
spirolactone key material compound 1 under the acidic condition. The reaction is carried out in an
organic solvent or an
aqueous medium, the acidic
aqueous solution is selected from
hydrochloric acid,
sulfuric acid,
trifluoroacetic acid,
acetic acid,
nitric acid or
phosphoric acid, the concentration range is 0.1-6 mol / L, the
reaction temperature is 0-100 DEG C, the reaction time is 0.5-96 hours, and the feeding
molar ratio of the compound 2 to the acid is 1: 0.5-1: 10. The
organic solvent can be selected from ethers, alcohols, esters or haloalkanes. The obtained compound 1 can be used as a
raw material for preparing spirolactone, and a final product is obtained through an
oxygen bridge reaction, an
esterification reaction, a
decarboxylation reaction, an etherification reaction, a
dehydrogenation reaction and a thioation reaction. The method provided by the invention realizes cyclic utilization of production byproducts, improves the
utilization rate of raw materials, reduces the production cost, reduces waste
discharge, and has a good industrial application prospect.
