The invention discloses a synthesis method of a felinone intermediate, and relates to the technical field of
medicine synthesis. The synthesis method comprises the following steps: firstly, taking a 500ml four-neck flask, adding 200ml of
dichloromethane, adding 40g of 3-hydroxypropionitrile, finally adding 5g of a DMAP
solid material, and stirring for 1 hour; continuously dropwise adding 50 g of
ketene dimer, and after temperature-controlled dropwise adding is completed, carrying out heat preservation reaction for 2 hours to obtain a reaction solution; and taking the reaction liquid, washing with 200ml of saturated
saline solution, preserving heat, taking the lower-layer material, washing with 200ml of
purified water, preserving heat, taking the lower-layer material, finally washing with 200ml of saturated
saline solution, taking the lower-layer material, distilling, and desolventizing to obtain the target product. The preparation method comprises the following steps: putting 40g of a target product and 200ml of DMF (
Dimethyl Formamide) into a 500ml four-mouth flask, stirring, then adding 50g of 4-cyano-2-methoxybenzaldehyde into a constant-pressure
dropping funnel and the like; the synthesis method is stable in reaction, low in
raw material price, reasonable in synthesis
route, basically free of by-products in the synthesis process, and high in target product purity.
