Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing 4-hydroxypyrrolidone-2-acetamide. Background technique
[0002] 4-Hydroxypyrrolidone-2-acetamide, commonly known as oxiracetam, is used in medicine as a brain function improver.
[0003] U.S. Patents US4824861 and US4868313 describe the preparation method of oxiracetam, which are based on 3-hydroxy-4-halogenated butyric acid derivatives, with chemical reactions such as hydroxyl protection, cyclization, deprotection, and ammoniation process to prepare the desired product.
[0004] The above-mentioned preparation method is not suitable for industrial scale production, because it has many disadvantages, such as the use of expensive dihydropyran as a hydroxyl protecting group, and finally the dihydropyran after removal of the protecting group is very difficult to recover. And the yield in each step of the reaction process is very low. In addition, during this reaction process, the intermediate obtained in ...
