The invention belongs to the technical field of
steroid drug molecules, and relates to an
estrone purification method, which comprises the following steps: adding 1, 4-diazabicyclo [2.2. 2]
octane into a solution containing an
estrone crude product and a first
solvent to obtain a precipitate, dissolving the precipitate in a second
solvent, adjusting to be alkaline, filtering, collecting filtrate, adjusting the pH value of the filtrate to be less than or equal to 3, and filtering to obtain the
estrone purification product. And extracting with a third
solvent to obtain an organic phase, cooling, crystallizing, carrying out suction
filtration, and
drying to obtain refined estrone. According to the method, the problem of removal of
methylation rearrangement impurities generated in the existing preparation technology of the estrone is solved, the
methylation rearrangement impurities can be purified from 0.7%-1.5% to less than or equal to 0.10% at a time, the purity of the finally obtained estrone is greater than or equal to 99.8%, and the yield is stable. The method disclosed by the invention is green and environment-friendly, low in cost, less in material loss, good in purification effect and stable in process, and has extremely high industrial application value.
