The invention discloses a synthesis method of 3-hydroxyazetidine
hydrochloride, and belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis. According to the method, tert-
butylamine and
epichlorohydrin are used as starting raw materials, and a target product is prepared through three-step reaction of cyclization,
acetylation and deacetylation in sequence. The method is characterized in that in the
acetylation reaction step, a step-by-step strategy that hydroxyl is subjected to monoacetylation at low temperature, and then tert-butyl
acetylation is carried out by heating under the conditions that Lewis acid is used for
catalysis and
sodium hydrosulfite is used as a binding agent is adopted; the binding agent can effectively capture fallen tert-butyl, and
side reaction between the fallen tert-butyl and the intermediate is avoided. By optimizing the synthesis
route and the purification process, the problems of high
raw material cost, high hydrogenation deprotection
safety risk, more side reactions, difficulty in intermediate purification, poor product
crystallization effect and the like in the prior art are solved. The obtained product is high in purity (greater than or equal to 98%) and good in
crystal form, and the whole process is good in safety, simple and convenient to operate and more suitable for industrial production.
