The invention discloses a preparation method of an anti-
hepatitis C
medicine sofosbuvir. The method comprises the following steps: taking r-ethyl glycerate acetonide as an initial
raw material, enabling the r-ethyl glycerate acetonide to react with ethyl alpha-fluoropropionate under the action of
potassium tert-butoxide, performing
carbonyl reduction, hydroxyl
acylation, hydrolytic cyclization under an acidic condition, hydroxyl
acylation, red aluminum reduction and chiral column separation so as to obtain a
sofosbuvir key intermediate ((2R,3R,4R,5R)-3-(benzoyloxy)-5-hydroxy-4-fluoro-4-methyltetrahydrofuran-2-yl)
methyl benzoate, performing 2-hydroxyl
acetylation, enabling acetylized material to react with 2-trimethylsiloxy-4-benzamidopyrimidine, removing benzamido under an acidic condition, performing dehydroxylation protection, and finally enabling obtained material to react with N-[(S)-(2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorophenoxy)phenoxyphosphinyl]-L-
alanine 1-methylethyl ester to obtain the
sofosbuvir. The method has the advantages of short synthesis
route, high yield, avoidance of a fluorination
reaction step in the synthesis process, and mild synthesis
reaction conditions.
