This invention discloses a production process and purification method for
furosemide, comprising the following steps: S1, adding crude
furosemide to an inorganic alkaline solution, allowing it to react fully, decolorizing and filtering, adjusting the pH of the filtrate to acidic conditions with acid to induce
crystallization, filtering and washing to obtain a
solid substance; S2, adding the
solid substance to a recrystallization
solvent, heating and refluxing it at
boiling point until the solution temperature remains constant, filtering while hot, transferring the filtrate to a
crystallization vessel, heating the solution to its
boiling point and then stopping heating, setting the pressure of the
crystallization vessel to 3-60 kPa to induce crystallization, and extracting the evaporated
solvent. After the solution in the crystallization vessel stops boiling, cooling the solution to 10-15°C using circulating cooling water to continue crystallization, filtering, washing, and
drying to obtain the finished
furosemide product. The purification method of this invention can avoid cold wall
precipitation of crystals, reduce waste liquid generation, and significantly improve the purity and yield of furosemide.
