The invention provides a preparation process of high-purity D-
panthenol, and belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical
chemistry synthesis. The preparation process comprises the following steps: mixing D-
pantoic acid lactone and 3-aminopropanol in a
solvent for reaction to obtain a D-
panthenol crude product, adding an extracting agent into the D-
panthenol crude product, carrying out extraction operation for 0-4 times at the temperature of 30-40 DEG C, separating out the D-panthenol crude product, dissolving the D-panthenol crude product with
methanol, concentrating until the
solvent residue accounts for 15-25% of the
mass of the material, and distilling by using a molecular distiller to obtain the D-panthenol. The high-purity D-panthenol is obtained. The process provided by the invention can effectively control the content of 3-aminopropanol, D-
pantoic acid lactone and other impurities in D-panthenol, and can ensure the limit level of the impurities in the stable placement period of the product. The method disclosed by the invention is strong in
impurity removal capacity, high in
distillation efficiency, simple and convenient to operate, good in product quality, high in stability and suitable for large-scale production.
