The invention discloses a preparation method of a
capecitabine intermediate suitable for industrial production. The preparation method of the
capecitabine intermediate comprises the following steps: carrying out feeding reaction, namely adding
acetonitrile, 5-
flucytosine, hexamethyldisilazane, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, 1,2,3-triacetoxy-5-deoxy-D-
ribose and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid into a reaction kettle, and performing stirring; carrying out concentrating reaction, namely performing reduced pressure
distillation on the solution in the reaction kettle until the volume is 4 times of the reference volume, and adding
dichloromethane which is 5-6 times of the reference volume and a
sodium bicarbonate solution with the concentration of 8.9 mol / L; carrying out liquid separation and extraction to obtain an aqueous phase and an organic phase; carrying out equal-liquid-level
distillation, namely distilling the organic phase until the volume of the liquid is 2.5 times of the volume of the starting material, maintaining the liquid level by continuously replenishing isopropanol in the subsequent
distillation process, and replenishing isopropanol to the distillation end-point liquid level after
dichloromethane in the
system is removed; and then, carrying outcrystallization and
filtration drying to obtain the
capecitabine intermediate. According to the method, conventional distillation replacement is replaced by equal-liquid-level distillation operation on time; and moreover, the preparation
route is further optimized. Thus, the method is suitable for industrial production and popularization of capecitabine intermediates.
