The present application relates to the field of
medicine preparation, in particular to a synthesis method of atipamezole
hydrochloride. The method comprises the following steps: 4-cyanomethyl
imidazole is subjected to
acylation reaction, and a secondary amine group at position 1 of 4-cyanomethyl
imidazole is subjected to acetyl protection to generate compound II; the compound II is subjected to two alkylations in sequence, and the
cyanogen of the
reaction product after the
alkylation is hydrolyzed into a carboxyl group to generate compound III; under the
catalysis of a Lewis acid, the compound III is subjected to intramolecular Friedel-Crafts
acylation to generate compound IV; the
carbonyl group of the compound IV is reduced into a
methylene group to obtain a target product compound V; the method has the advantages of short synthesis
route, mild reaction condition, low
equipment requirement, convenient operation, high yield of
reaction product, high yield of product obtained without complex purification method, and the like, and is easy to realize large-scale industrial production.
