The invention belongs to the technical field of
chemical synthesis, and discloses a
cefotaxime sodium synthesis method based on one-step salification of a mixed
solvent system and
sodium isooctanoate. The method comprises the following steps: by taking 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) and 2-(2-
aminothiazole-4-yl)-2-(methoxyimino) acetoxyimino
ethyl acetate (AE active ester) as raw materials, in a
dichloromethane-
methanol mixed
solvent, completing a
condensation reaction through
triethylamine catalysis, directly dropwise adding a
sodium isooctanoate
acetone solution to realize salification in one step, and carrying out post-treatment to obtain the 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA)-2-(methoxyimino) acetoxyimino
ethyl acetate (AE active ester)-2-(methoxyimino) acetoxyimino
ethyl acetate (AE active ester). The
cefotaxime acid intermediate does not need to be separated; and performing low-temperature washing and accurate
drying subsequently to obtain a
cefotaxime sodium finished product. According to the method, the defects that in the prior art, a two-
step method needs intermediate separation and a one-pot method needs alkaline degradation are overcome, the production period is shortened to be smaller than or equal to 8 h, the total yield is larger than or equal to 92%, the HPLC purity is larger than or equal to 99.6%, the
wastewater COD is smaller than or equal to 2000 mg / L,
solvent residues meet the ICH Q3C standard, and the method has the advantages of industrial feasibility and
environmental protection.
