The invention belongs to the field of
organic chemistry, and particularly relates to a synthesis method of a
rosuvastatin calcium key intermediate, which comprises the following steps: (1) taking (S)-4-chloro-3-
hydroxybutyric acid as a
raw material, and performing condensation ester with
methanol under the condition of an
esterification reaction condensing agent to obtain a compound with a
structural formula B, and (2) taking the compound with the
structural formula B as a
raw material, and under the alkaline condition, performing condensation ester reaction to obtain the
rosuvastatin calcium key intermediate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) carrying out a reaction with tert-butyl
malonate to obtain a compound with a
structural formula C, (3) adding glucose and alkali into the compound with the structural formula C as a
raw material under an
enzyme catalysis condition to obtain a chiral reduction product D, and (4) heating the compound with the structural formula D as a raw material in the presence of only 2, 2-dimethoxypropane to obtain the
rosuvastatin calcium key intermediate with a structural formula V. According to the method, tert-butyl bromoacetate and
metal organic reagents which are high in cost and difficult to treat are not used, and solvents
acetone and acid catalysts are not used in the ketal reaction, so that the production cost is reduced, and the method is more environment-friendly and efficient.
