The application discloses a preparation method of
zolmitriptan, relates to the technical field of
drug synthesis, and comprises the following steps: adding compound 1 and
reagent 1 into
solvent 1 to perform a first reaction to obtain compound 2; adding the compound 2,
reagent 2 and
reagent 3 into
solvent 2 to perform a second reaction to obtain compound 3 and the like. Compared with the prior art, the application provides a novel synthetic
route for preparing
zolmitriptan, the
route uses L-4-bromophenylalanine as a starting material, and new synthetic steps are adopted, such as using reagent 5, such as a t-butyl
alcohol metal salt and
sodium hydride, to construct the oxazolidinone structure in
zolmitriptan and using a
coupling reaction to construct the indole ring in zolmitriptan, so that the yield of the obtained target product is significantly improved, the use of high-
toxicity and high-risk reagents in the existing synthetic
route is effectively avoided, and a mild, efficient, green and environmentally-friendly synthetic route for preparing zolmitriptan is provided.
