The invention relates to a preparation method of 1,3-dibenzyl-2-oxoimidazolidine-4,5-
dicarboxylic acid, comprising the steps of subjecting
fumaric acid,
bromine and
hydrobromic acid to additive reaction to generate meso-2,3-dDibromosuccinic acid, subjecting the meso-2,3-dDibromosuccinic acid,
benzylamine and a strong base to aminating reaction to generate dibenzylamino salt, subjecting the dibenzylamino salt and
triphosgene to cyclization to generate the 1,3-dibenzyl-2-oxoimidazolidine-4,5-
dicarboxylic acid. The
fumaric acid is subjected to addition, and then substitution and cyclization are performed to obtain the 1,3-dibenzyl-2-oxoimidazolidine-4,5-
dicarboxylic acid, and detection shows that HPLC (high-performance liquid
chromatography) content of the 1,3-dibenzyl-2-oxoimidazolidine-4,5-dicarboxylic acid may reach 98-99%. The preparation method has the advantages that
hydrobromic acid is added for bromination additive reaction, the concentration and
reaction temperature of the
hydrobromic acid are optimized, and
bromine loss is more reduced;
amination mother liquid is used in
amination, the cost is saved, and product yield is increased; in ring-closure reaction, pH and
reaction product concentration are decreased, the yield of the 1,3-dibenzyl-2-oxoimidazolidine-4,5-dicarboxylic acid is increased greatly, and the quality of the 1,3-dibenzyl-2-oxoimidazolidine-4,5-dicarboxylic acid is improved; experiments verify that through
process innovation, production cost is reduced greatly, production efficiency is improved, and the process is energy efficient and
environmentally friendly.
