The present invention relates to the technical field of
medicine, particularly to a
linagliptin synthesis and purification process, which comprises: 1, reacting a compound 1 with 1-bromo-2-butyne in an
organic solvent under the condition of
sodium bicarbonate at a preset temperature, and carrying out separation and purification to obtain a compound 2; 2, reacting the compound 2 with 2-chloromethyl-4-methylquinazoline in an
organic solvent under alkaline conditions, and separating and purifying to obtain a compound 3; 3, the compound 3 and an acidified amino compound react in an
organic solvent under the alkaline condition, and a
linagliptin product is obtained through separation and purification. In the step 1,
sodium bicarbonate is used as alkali, so that generation of a disubstituted
impurity A is avoided, and the yield and the purity of the compound 2 are further improved. 30-40% of water is added in the reaction in the step 3, the
reaction rate is increased, the position isomer
impurity C is controlled to be smaller than or equal to 0.1%, and the purity of 99.9% can be achieved only through one-time
crystallization in aftertreatment.
