The invention discloses a preparation method of
triamcinolone acetonide. A compound I
prednisone acetate which is taken as a starting material is subjected to a primary
elimination reaction, an oxidation reaction, a
condensation reaction, a reduction reaction, a secondary
elimination reaction, a
hydrolysis reaction, an epoxidation reaction and a fluorination reaction, so that an end-product IX, 9-fluoro-11beta, 21-dihydroxyl-16a,17-[(1-methyl ethylidene) bi(oxo)]-pregnen
steroid-1,4-
diene-3, 20-
diketone, namely
triamcinolone acetonide, is obtained. The preparation method of the
triamcinolone acetonide has the advantages that a relatively cheap starting
raw material is adopted, each
reaction step can be relatively easily realized, and yield is relatively high, so that production is more economic and
safer, and the
triamcinolone acetonide is more applicable to industrial production; a multi-step protection and deprotection operation is simplified, a synthetic
route is greatly shortened, and production cost is reduced; possibility that a three-position
carbonyl group is reduced in a reduction process is almost zero, so that side effects are greatly reduced, and yield and quality of the reduction reaction are improved.
