Problems solved by technology

[0006] As can be seen from the above, the synthesis route of chloramphenicol is long at present, because the theoretical maximum yield of splitting is only 50%, calculated in terms of ethylbenzene, the actual yield of domestic production is about 30%, which makes the production cost and the three wastes increase. The aluminum propoxide reduction process also produces a large amount of three wastes that are difficult to handle, so finding a more economical synthesis method is always a challenge

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for synthesizing a broad spectrum antibiotic, namely, chloramphenicol. The method comprises the following steps of: synthesizing (1R,2R)-2-nitro-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3-propanediol by using 4-chlorobenzaldehyde and 2-nitroethylalcohol as raw materials in the presence of a chiral catalyst, and performing catalytic hydrogenation to obtain (1R,2R)-2-amino-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3-propanediol; and performing dichloro acetylization and nitro substitution on the intermediate to obtain the chloramphenicol. By the method, the common chiral resolution and aluminum isopropoxide reduction in the industry at present can be avoided, three wastes are reduced, and the raw materials and reagents are cheap and readily available; 4-chlorobenzaldehyde is selected as a raw material, nitro substitution is adopted, and the generation of byproducts in nitration reaction is reduced; moreover, the method comprises a few synthesizing steps, the yield is high, and the method is more suitable for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of a compound, in particular to a method for synthesizing chloramphenicol from 4-chlorobenzaldehyde. Background technique [0002] Chlorotoxin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, mainly used for typhoid bacillus, Shigella, meningococcus, pneumococcus infection, and can also be used for rickettsial infection. Although it has many side effects such as inhibition of bone marrow hematopoietic function, causing coarse cells and thrombocytopenia or aplastic anemia, it is still the drug of choice for the treatment of typhoid fever. [0003] Chloramphenicol is white or slightly yellow-green needle-like, long flaky crystals or crystalline powder. Bitter. The melting point is 149-153°C. Soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol and acetone, slightly soluble in water. Specific rotation [α] D 25 =+18.5~+21.5° (absolute ethanol). [0004] There are many reports about the synthetic route of chloramphenicol...
