Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medicine and chemical industry, and particularly relates to a full-continuous chemical synthesis method of diclofenac sodium. BACKGROUND
[0002] Diclofenac sodium (molecular formula: C 14 H 10 Cl2NNaO2, CAS No.: 15307-79-6), chemical name: 2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl) amino]-benzene acetic acid sodium, white crystal or crystalline powder. It is a strong non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) belonging to benzene acetic acid derivatives, which mainly consists of benzene acetic acid group, secondary amino group and benzene ring with two adjacent chlorine groups. This kind of drug has good curative effect in treating pain, inflammation and fever, and is one of the important drugs in clinical treatment. So far, diclofenac sodium has been marketed in 120 countries around the world for 35 years, and occupies the important position of the 30th in the 200 most popular drugs in the world.
[0003] At present, the production of diclofenac sodium generally adopts an intermittent kettle reaction process, which has long reaction time, large energy consumption, many times of solvent switching, large amount of catalyst and produces a large amount of waste acid and waste salt. Patent CN 101701003 A describes a method using N,N-dimethyl-o-bromobenzene acetic amide as a starting material. In the method, N,N-dimethyl-o-bromobenzene acetic amide and 2,6-dichloroaniline are first subjected to condensation reaction to obtain N,N-dimethyl-2-(2,6-dichloroanilino) benzene acetic amide, and then subjected to hydrolysis reaction to obtain the product. The raw material N,N-dimethyl-o-bromobenzene acetic amide in the method is an intermediate, and there is no commercial product that can be purchased, self-made or customized at a high price, so it is difficult to realize industrialization, and has low practical value. Patent CN 103145574 B describes a method of obtaining a product through chlorination, acid catalysis, ring formation, alkaline hydrolysis and other steps using N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl) benzene acetic amide as a starting material. The raw material N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl) benzene acetic amide in the method is an intermediate, and there is no commercial product, so it is difficult to realize industrialization, and the chlorination process uses a chlorinating agent with high toxicity and strong corrosion, which causes serious environmental pollution.
