Problems solved by technology

However, this process needs to use n-butyllithium as a hydrogen extraction reagent, requires strict anhydrous and oxygen-free reaction, and strictly controls the reaction temperature. The operating conditions are extremely harsh and there are serious safety hazards. Therefore, it is not conducive to industrial production.

Abstract

The invention discloses a methimazole synthesizing and purifying method, and belongs to the field of medicine synthesis. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out a condensation reaction on methylaminoacetaldehyde polyethylene glycol and ammonium thiocyanate which are used as raw materials in the presence of an acid catalyst and a phase transfer catalyst; and adding saturated salt water after the reaction is completed, uniformly mixing the obtained reaction product and the saturated salt water, adding an organic solvent to carry out extraction, drying and concentrating the obtained organic layer to obtain crude methimazole, heating and dissolving the crude product in a solvent, adding active carbon to decolorize the obtained solution, filtering the solution, and drying the filtered solution to obtain purified methimazole. The method is a preparation method simple to operate and suitable for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of drug synthesis, and relates to a method for synthesizing and refining methimazole, in particular to a condensation method using methylaminoacetaldehyde ethylene acetal and ammonium thiocyanate as raw materials, hydrochloric acid as a catalyst, and a phase transfer catalyst. The crude product of methimazole is obtained through reaction, and the preparation method suitable for industrial production of methimazole meeting the pharmacopoeia standard is obtained through refining. Background technique [0002] Methimazole (Methimazole), chemical name 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole, is a commonly used antithyroid drug, clinically used for the treatment of various hyperthyroidism (commonly known as "hyperthyroidism"), especially for the treatment of In patients with mild and moderate thyroid enlargement, its mechanism of action is to inhibit the synthesis of thyroxine and triiodothyronine. [0003] The synthetic method of m...
