Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, specifically to a method for purifying diquaphosphopropyl sodium. Background Technology
[0002] CN200780028646 describes a suitable method for the industrialized preparation of di(pyrimidine nucleoside 5'-)polyphosphates. The synthetic yield is 50.5%–94.3%, requiring a combination of separation and purification methods (e.g., recrystallization, ion exchange column chromatography, adsorption column chromatography, activated carbon column chromatography). The example describes dissolving the reaction solution in water, filtering to remove the precipitate, passing it through a strong cation exchange column (pK216 proton type), collecting the eluent, adjusting the base with triethylamine, adsorbing it onto an anion exchange column (IRA67-chloride type), eluting, concentrating and drying, then passing it through a strong cation exchange column (pK216 sodium type), collecting and concentrating the eluent, crystallizing with ethanol, and drying to obtain UP4U sodium salt. The purification process described requires three ion exchange operations, making it very complex.
[0003] CN201780066159 describes purification using chelating resin. Specifically, Up4U is dissolved in an aqueous solution or hydrophilic solvent, passed through a column packed with chelating resin, and the permeate is collected. The permeate is then acidified and crystallized to obtain UP4U. Activated carbon activated with zinc chloride is added, the activated carbon is removed by filtration, and the product is recrystallized to obtain UP4U. This purification method can yield a product with metal ion concentrations below 10 ppm. This method is complex and primarily describes the method for removing metal ions from the product.
[0004] CN202011503324 describes the process of dissolving UP4U-tri-n-pentanamine salt in purified water, eluting with ammonium bicarbonate solution by column chromatography, concentrating under reduced pressure, and then exchanging with a cation exchange resin to obtain the product through concentration and crystallization.
[0005] While existing technologies can obtain high-purity diquafosol sodium through purification, the purification process involves complex operations, high equipment occupancy, and low production efficiency due to the use of ion exchange resin column chromatography or combinations of multiple ion exchange resin column chromatography. Furthermore, the large-scale use of hydrochloric acid and high-concentration sodium chloride solutions for elution leads to equipment corrosion and generates large amounts of highly concentrated wastewater, resulting in high treatment costs and environmental pollution. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new purification method for diquafosol sodium. Summary of the Invention
