The application discloses a preparation method of a novel MOM-protected C3
side chain of cefodizime, and belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical synthesis intermediates. The method is as follows: 2-chloro-3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde is used as
raw material, and
chloromethyl methyl ether (MOMCl) or bromomethyl methyl
ether (MOMBr) is used to protect two phenolic hydroxyl groups. After the
aldehyde group is oxidized into a
carboxylic acid by using a Pinnick method, the
carboxylic acid is condensed with 2-chloroethylamine to obtain an
amide, and finally, the
amide is reacted with tetrahydropyrrole to obtain the target product: 2-chloro-3,4-bis(methoxymethoxy)-(2-(pyrrol-1-yl)ethyl)
benzamide. N The application has mild
reaction conditions and simple operation, and is suitable for industrialized production of cefodizime.
