The invention relates to an industrial production method of high-purity
esomeprazole sodium. The industrial production method is characterized by comprising the following steps: mixing a
raw material 5-methoxy-2-(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridyl) methylthio-1H-
benzimidazole with a
solvent for dissolving 5-methoxy-2-(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridyl) methylthio-1H-
benzimidazole; and successively adding water, D-
diethyl tartrate and
titanium iso-propoxide as well as an inorganic base, then adding
cumene hydroperoxide, adding
methanol or
ethanol after reaction, filtering, carrying out posttreatment and salifying to prepare high-purity
esomeprazole sodium, wherein the inorganic base is one of
potassium carbonate,
sodium carbonate,
sodium hydroxide and
potassium hydroxide. By using the method in the invention, the defects of high cost and serious environment
pollution which are caused by using the
organic base in the prior art are solved, and the defects of difficult posttreatment, poor
repeatability and difficult industrialization in the prior art are solved simultaneously. According to the invention, the inorganic base is used as the
raw material, thus the industrial production method has the advantages of low cost, little environment
pollution, short reaction time and high product purity, is easy to operate and industrially produce.
