The invention belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a preparation method of novel
tiamulin fumarate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: reacting
pleuromutilin with
thionyl chloride to generate chlorinated
pleuromutilin; reacting the chlorinated
pleuromutilin with
thiourea, and carrying out alkali treatment, so as to generate sulfhydrylated pleuromutilin; the preparation method comprises the following steps: reacting sulfhydrylated pleuromutilin with 2-bromo-N, N-diethyl ethyl-1-amine to form
tiamulin, and finally carrying out a salt forming reaction. The invention provides a synthetic
route of chlorination, sulfhydrylation,
alkylation and salification, and two key intermediates, namely the chlorinated pleuromutilin and the sulfhydrylated pleuromutilin, are prepared step by step, so that the accurate control of the reaction process is realized. Wherein the chlorination reaction is catalyzed by N, N-
dimethylaniline, the low-temperature staged reaction is adopted, and the selectivity is good;
thiourea is used for
alkaline hydrolysis in sulfhydrylation, so that foul mercaptan is avoided;
alkylation is carried out under
weak base and low temperature; no controlled
reagent is needed in the whole process, and green chemical requirements are met.
