The invention discloses a preparation process of a
lubiprostone intermediate. The preparation process comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out reduction reaction on a lubi-initiator to obtain an intermediate 1; secondly, adding excessive
weak base into a
mixed solution of triphenylphosphonic acid
bromide and absolute
ether, then adding the intermediate 1 for complete reaction, then adjusting a pH value to 5 to 6, adding
ethyl acetate for extracting, combining organic
layers to obtain an organic phase, and carrying out vacuum concentration and
drying on the organic phase to obtain an intermediate 2; thirdly, adding
acetonitrile, diisopropylethylamine and
benzyl bromide into the intermediate 2 for complete reaction, then carrying out vacuum concentration and
drying, and adding the
ethyl acetate and water for extracting and separating liquid; carrying out vacuum concentration and
drying on the organic phase to obtain a crude product of an intermediate 3. The preparation process disclosed by the invention has the advantages of rapid and convenient synthesis
route, high yield and relatively high economic value; the preparation process is quite suitable for scale production and provides another synthesis
route with high
economic benefits and high production efficiency for producing
lubiprostone.
