The invention discloses a synthesis technology of
dutasteride, comprising the following steps of: using the acidity of DT4 carboxyl to directly react with
ammonia to generate DT4-
ammonium salt; dehydrating the obtained
ammonium salt into DT4-
amide, and performing an amino exchange reaction between
amide and BTFMA in the presence of a catalyst so as to prepare
dutasteride. With DT4 as a starting material,
dutasteride is synthesized by three reactions of
salt formation,
dehydration and amino exchange. During the reactions,
thionyl chloride,
oxalyl chloride,
pivaloyl chloride or methylsulfonyl
chloride which is sensitive to the environment is avoided, special expensive catalysts such as DBU,
copper powder and the like are not needed, and harmful and poisonous chemical materials are avoided. The product has good product yield and high purity, and is easy to refine. The synthesis technology has advantages of low cost and few ''three wastes'', is easy and simple to operate, conforms to green
chemical synthesis requirements, and lays a good industrial foundation for realizing large-scale green clean production of high-yield and high-purity dutasteride.
