The application provides a preparation method of
bosentan, which comprises the following steps: mixing
phosphorus oxychloride and 5-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-[2,2'-bipyrimidine]-4,6(1H,5H)-dione, reacting to obtain 4,6-dichloro-5-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-2,2'-bipyrimidine; then mixing the 4,6-dichloro-5-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-2,2'-bipyrimidine with 4-tert-butylbenzenesulfonamide, an acid binding agent and a polar aprotic
solvent, and reacting to obtain 4-tert-butyl-N-[6-chloro-5-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-4-pyrimidinyl]benzenesulfonamide
potassium salt; then mixing the 4-tert-butyl-N-[6-chloro-5-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-4-pyrimidinyl]benzenesulfonamide
potassium salt with
ethylene glycol, an
alkali metal hydroxide and
tetrahydrofuran to obtain a
bosentan precursor; and finally mixing the
bosentan precursor with
ethanol and water, reacting, cooling and crystallizing to obtain bosentan. The preparation method of bosentan can greatly save reaction time, improve reaction yield, reduce
impurity content, simplify post-treatment operation, reduce preparation cost and be convenient for industrial large-scale production and application.
