The invention relates to a method for preparing a nerofloxacin chiral piperidylamine intermediate, which comprises the following steps of: carrying out
condensation reaction on 5-hydroxy nicotinic acid which is simple and easy to obtain and is used as a
raw material and different alcohols, screening through a series of asymmetric
catalytic hydrogenation conditions to obtain optimal
reaction conditions, and under the conditions, carrying out reaction on various 3, 3 '-dihydroxy nicotinic acid and 3, 3'-dihydroxy nicotinic acid to obtain the nerofloxacin chiral piperidylamine intermediate. The 2, 5-disubstituted
pyridine quaternary ammonium salt is reduced into a tetrahydropyridine product, and the C5 site enantioselectivity of the product is excellent. The preparation method comprises the following steps: selecting methyl (R)-1-benzyl-5-hydroxy-1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydropyridine-3-
carboxylic acid methyl ester as a substrate, completely hydrogenating by using
platinum dioxide
hydrogen, and then carrying out methyl ester reduction, dehydroxylation,
Mitsunobu reaction and
protecting group removal to obtain a key chiral intermediate for industrial synthesis of a
quinolone antibacterial drug nemonofloxacin with high enantioselectivity and high yield.
