The application belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a preparation method of an
edoxaban intermediate. The method takes 2,5-dimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazole[5,4-c]
pyridine (compound 1) as
raw material, and first performs an oxidation reaction with an oxidant to obtain 5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazole[5,4-c]
pyridine-2-methanal (compound 2), then performs a reaction with
chlorite to obtain 5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazole[5,4-c]
pyridine-2-
carboxylic acid (compound 3), and finally performs a
salt formation in an organic solution of
hydrochloric acid to obtain the
edoxaban intermediate (compound 4). The reaction
route of the application is short, the material is cheap and easy to obtain, the reaction condition is mild, the atomic economy is high, the obtained product has high purity, the product quality can meet the subsequent requirements, and the yield is high.
