The application relates to the field of
medicine synthesis, in particular to a refining method of
azacitidine. Crude
azacitidine is added into a refining
solvent to be stirred and dissolved, a
crystallization solvent is added dropwise to be stirred, after crystals are separated out, temperature is reduced to be stirred to separate out crystals, and then
filtration is carried out; the
filter cake is washed with the
crystallization solvent, and high-purity
single crystal azacitidine is obtained; the refining solvents used in the application are low-
toxicity solvents, the operation is simple and safe, and the problem of excessive residue is avoided; the
crystallization solvents are low-boiling-point solvents, which are beneficial to recycling and utilization of the crystallization solvents and cost saving. Finally,
single crystal products are obtained, the problem caused by different
crystal types is avoided, the yield is improved, the operation is simplified, and the method is suitable for industrial production.
