The invention relates to the technical field of
chemical synthesis of medicines, and particularly discloses a production and preparation method of an
erlotinib intermediate. The method comprises the following steps: taking 3, 4-dihydroxy
benzaldehyde as an initial
raw material, sequentially carrying out etherification, oxidation and
nitration reactions to prepare 2-nitro-4, 5-bis (2-methoxyethoxy)
benzoic acid, finally dissolving the 2-nitro-4, 5-bis (2-methoxyethoxy)
benzoic acid,
formamide,
formic acid and
triethylamine in gamma-
valerolactone to form two material flows, and carrying out heat treatment to obtain the 2-nitro-4, 5-bis (2-methoxyethoxy)
benzoic acid. And carrying out continuous cyclization reaction in a
fixed bed reactor filled with a specific composite catalyst, and carrying out post-treatment to obtain the target product 6, 7-bis (2-methoxyethoxy)-4-
quinazolinone. According to the method, the raw materials are easy to obtain, the reaction efficiency and the product purity are remarkably improved by optimizing the synthesis
route and the
reaction conditions, and a novel efficient, environment-friendly and stable method is provided for large-scale production of the
erlotinib key intermediate.
