The invention relates to the technical field of
medicine preparation, in particular to a medroxyprogesterone acetate production process, which comprises the following steps: adding 182.4 kg of N, N-
dimethylformamide into a reaction kettle through a head tank, then extracting 60 kg of
cyclohexene, adding the
cyclohexene into the reaction kettle through the head tank, starting the reaction kettle, starting to stir and mix in the reaction kettle, adding the
cyclohexene into the reaction kettle through the head tank, adding the cyclohexene into the reaction kettle through the head tank; adding 40kg of methine into the reaction kettle through a feeding port, introducing
nitrogen, continuously stirring for 30 minutes, weighing 2kg of
palladium-carbon, adding into the reaction kettle through a feeding port, stopping introducing
nitrogen, slowly heating in a
steam bath of the reaction kettle, controlling the
internal temperature to 110 + / -2 DEG C, distilling for 60 minutes under normal pressure, controlling the
internal temperature of the reaction kettle to 110 + / -2 DEG C, and refluxing for 60 minutes; according to the method, the problems that an existing medroxyprogesterone acetate production process flow is relatively complex, more intermediates exist, and the material
utilization rate is relatively low can be effectively solved.
