Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the improvement of the preparation process of organic compounds, in particular to a synthesis method of benfotiamine. Background technique
[0002] Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble derivative of thiamine, a synthetic vitamin B1 derivative that is slightly soluble in water. Synthesized in Japan in the 1960s, it was gradually used in the treatment of neuropathy, sciatica and other neuropathic pains caused by alcoholism after 1962. Since the 1990s, European scholars have conducted a series of studies on thiamine, especially benfotiamine, in the treatment and prevention of diabetes and its complications, and have made significant progress in recent years. The drug has been used in Europe for more than a decade to treat various conditions, including nerve damage associated with diabetes. Benfotiamine was developed by the Japanese company Akira. The chemical name of benfotiamine is: S-[2-[[(4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)methyl]formyl...
