The invention discloses a preparation method of an
argatroban intermediate, and relates to the field of
medicine synthesis. According to the method, N-Boc-N '-nitro-L-
arginine and ethyl (2R, 4R)-4-methyl-2-piperidinecarboxylate are used as raw materials, 2-chloro-4, 6-dimethoxy-1, 3, 5-
triazine is used as a condensing agent, in the presence of organic alkali N-methylmorpholine, a reaction is performed in a
solvent, and the compound is obtained. According to the present invention, the
argatroban intermediate (R)-4-methyl-1-(N8-nitro-N2-Boc-L-arginyl)-2-ethyl piperidinecarboxylate is obtained, the condensing agent and the introduced impurities adopted by the preparation method are easy to remove, the post-treatment operation is simple, the product yield is high, the purity is high, the residual condensing agent and the residual by-product in the product are easy to detect and control, and the
argatroban intermediate (R)-4-methyl-1-(N8-nitro-N2-Boc-L-arginyl)-2-ethyl piperidinecarboxylate is suitable for commercial production.
