The invention discloses a preparation method for
imipenem medicine intermediate 4AA. The preparation method comprises making 4-substituted
aniline into an intermediate A, perform epoxidation on L-
threonine to produce (2R, 3R)-
epoxy butyric acid; enabling (2R, 3R)-
epoxy butyric acid and the intermediate A to undergo a
coupling reaction, obtaining an intermediate B, enabling the intermediate B to undergo a cyclization reaction, obtaining an intermediate C, enabling the intermediate C to undergo a hydroxyl protection reaction, obtaining an intermediate D, enabling the intermediate D to be oxidized to form an
acetoxy group, and enabling an oxidized product to undergo an ozonation reaction, wherein G is H, F, Cl, Br, a methoxy group, oxethyl or an amino group; and R is H,
straight chain alkyl of C1-C6, cyclopropyl,
isopropyl, tert-butyl, a
phenyl group, p-chlorophenyl, o-chlorophenyl, p-bromophenyl, o-bromophenyl, p-methoxyphenyl, o-methoxyphenyl or m-methoxyphenyl. According to the preparation method, raw materials are cheap and easy to obtain,
reaction conditions are mild, the conversion rate and the
yield rate are high, and the preparation method is suitable for industrial production.
