Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of metyrapone. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: reacting 3-acetylpyridine with Mg powder in an organic solvent under the action of a catalyst; hydrolyzing to obtain 2,3-bipyridine-3-radical-2,3-butanediol; undergoing a rearrangement reaction on the 2,3-bipyridine-3-radical-2,3-butanediol under the action of a strong acid to obtain crude metyrapone; and recrystallizing to obtain metyrapone as a finished product. The preparation method has the advantages of short process flow, easy and convenient operating, higher yield and easy control over the quality of the finished product, and is suitable for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of metyrapone (chemical name: 2-methyl-1,2-bis(pyridin-3-yl)1-acetone), which belongs to the technical field of medicine and chemical industry. Background technique [0002] Metyrapone, also known as metyrapone, is a white crystalline powder with a melting point of 50-53°C, soluble in ethanol and chloroform, and slightly soluble in water. Metyrapone is an inhibitor of adrenal cortex function, which belongs to 11-beta hydroxylase inhibitors and can inhibit the production of cortisol. It is used for the treatment of adrenocortical tumors, Cushing's syndrome, etc., and can also be used for the examination of the lower pituitary gland . [0003] There are fewer bibliographical reports on the preparation of metyrapone, and there are bibliographical reports using nicotinic acid as a starting material, through esterification, Claisen condensation, synthesis and rearrangement of pinacol and other 6-step reactions ...
