The application discloses a preparation method of
lenalidomide, which comprises the following steps: S1, methyl 2-bromomethyl-3-nitrobenzoate, 3-aminopiperidine-2,6-dione
hydrochloride and a base are dissolved in a polar
solvent, and reaction is carried out at 50-60 DEG C for 5-8 h; after the reaction is completed, the obtained mixed product is refined and purified to obtain 3-(7-nitro-3-oxo-1H-isoindol-2-yl)
piperidine-2,6-dione; S2, 3-(7-nitro-3-oxo-1H-isoindol-2-yl)
piperidine-2,6-dione,
ammonium formate and a
palladium-carbon catalyst are added into a mixed
solvent, and reaction is carried out at 35-45 DEG C for 4-7 h; after the reaction is completed, the obtained crude product is further treated; S3, the crude product is stirred and dissolved in a polar
solvent, and then filtered;
ammonium formate and
sodium mercaptoacetate are added into the filtrate, and reaction is carried out under stirring for 2-5 h; after the reaction is completed, the obtained
mixed solution is refined and purified to obtain
lenalidomide.
