The invention discloses a method for preparing metacycline
hydrochloride with low
impurity content by directly neutralizing a 11a-chloro-6-methylenetetracycline solution serving as a
raw material, and belongs to the technical field of
chemical engineering. The method comprises the following steps: adding a neutralizer into a 11a-
chlorine-6-methine
oxytetracycline solution for
neutralization treatment, and filtering to obtain a 11a-
chlorine-6-methine
oxytetracycline neutralization solution; the method comprises the following steps: adding a 11a-
chlorine-6-methyleneoxytetracycline
neutralization solution and a regenerated
palladium-carbon catalyst into an alcoholic solution, carrying out temperature-controlled hydrodechlorination reaction, filtering, adding
sulfosalicylic acid into filtrate, and crystallizing to form salt, so as to obtain the methyleneoxytetracycline, and reacting methyleneoxytetracycline with
hydrochloric acid, crystallizing, filtering, and
drying to obtain the metacycline
hydrochloride. According to the method, a 11a-chloro-6-methyleneoxytetracycline salifying process is not carried out, and the purity and quality of a metacycline
hydrochloride product are improved while the production cost is reduced by simplifying a synthetic
route, optimizing a process and reducing emission of three wastes (
waste gas, waste water and industrial residues).
