[0022] This invention provides a method for preparing the inner salt of 3-[3-(cholanamidopropyl)dimethylamino]propanesulfonic acid, comprising the following steps: S1, cholic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid are refluxed in methanol solvent, cooled, crystallized, filtered, and then dried to obtain product one ( Figure 1 S2, Product 1, N,N-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane and p-toluenesulfonic acid were heated and reacted for a certain time. After the reaction, the mixture was evaporated to a thick consistency, crystals were added to water to precipitate, filtered, and dried to obtain cholanamide. Figure 2S3, choline, and 1,3-dichloropropane were refluxed in ethanol and distilled under reduced pressure until viscous to give product tri( Figure 3 S4, water, sodium sulfite, and copper chloride were added to product three, and the mixture was refluxed for a certain time to perform desalting treatment. Then, it was evaporated and crystallized, filtered, and dried to obtain 3-[3-(cholamidopropyl)dimethylamino]propanesulfonic acid inner salt ( Figure 4 ).
[0023] In this embodiment, in step S1, after filtration, methanol is concentrated and crystallized to obtain solid one. Solid one is dried to obtain product two, which is then added to product one. In step S1, 100g of cholic acid, 250ml of methanol, and 1g of p-toluenesulfonic acid are refluxed for 2 hours. In step S1, drying is performed at 40-60℃, preferably 50℃. In step S2, 100g of methyl cholate, 100ml of N,N-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane, and 1g of p-toluenesulfonic acid are heated to 120℃ and reacted for 16 hours. In step S2, drying is performed at 60-80℃, preferably 70℃. In step S3, 100g of cholanamide, 200ml of ethanol, and 25g of 1,3-dichloropropane are refluxed for 6 hours. In step S4, 200ml of water, 30g of sodium sulfite, and 1g of copper chloride are added, and the mixture is refluxed for 10 hours. In step S4, desalination is performed using an electrodialysis device. In step S4, drying is performed at 65-75°C, preferably 70°C. This method eliminates the need for sulfonation with propane sulpholactone, instead using an alternative route that requires only water and ethanol as solvents, thus avoiding the use of DMF. Example
[0024] like Figure 1 100g of cholic acid was dissolved in 250ml of methanol, and 1g of p-toluenesulfonic acid was added and refluxed for 2 hours. The mixture was cooled, crystallized, filtered, and dried at approximately 50°C. The methanol was concentrated and crystallized again to obtain methyl cholate, which was then filtered and dried at approximately 50°C to obtain approximately 100g, with a yield of 96%.
[0025] like Figure 2 100g of methyl cholate, 100ml of N,N-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane, and 1g of p-toluenesulfonic acid were heated to 120°C and reacted for 16 hours. Most of the remaining N,N-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane was evaporated until a thick precipitate was formed. Crystals were added to water, filtered, and dried at approximately 70°C to obtain 84g of cholanamide, with a yield of 74%.
[0026] like Figures 3-4Cholinedine 100g, ethanol 200ml, 1,3-dichloropropane 25g, refluxed for 6 hours, solvent and excess dichloroethane were distilled under reduced pressure until thickened. 200ml water, sodium sulfite 30g, and copper chloride 1g were added, refluxed for 10 hours, desalted by electrodialysis, evaporated to crystallize, filtered, and dried at approximately 70°C to obtain 96g of 3-[3-(cholineamidopropyl)dimethylamino]propanesulfonic acid inner salt, yield 77%. The electrodialysis apparatus can be Jiangsu Ritai Environmental Engineering Co., Ltd., model DSADIV, with Ti-coated IrRu electrodes, a final conductivity of less than 50μs / cm, and an ion exchange membrane.
[0027] This invention abandons the sulfonation reaction using propane sulpholactone and instead uses an alternative route, thus requiring only water and ethanol as solvents and avoiding the use of DMF. The reaction yields 3-[3-(cholanamidopropyl)dimethylamino]propanesulfonic acid inner salt in four steps, producing a product with high purity and high yield. Although embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. Other modifications can be easily made by those skilled in the art. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
