The invention discloses a preparation method for
metoprolol salt, which includes the steps of utilizing p-(2-methoxyethyl)
phenol and
epoxy chloropropane as raw materials and water or
ethanol as dissolvent, and obtaining 3-[4-(2-methoxyethyl phenoxy)]-1,2-epoxypropane under the action of strong alkali; and utilizing water as dissolvent, carrying reaction between the 3-[4-(2-methoxyethyl phenoxy)]-1,2-epoxypropane and
isopropylamine so that
metoprolol alkali is obtained, and then carrying out reaction between the
metoprolol alkali and saturated monohydric
alcohol liquor of
organic acid or saturated monohydric
alcohol liquor of
hydrochloric acid, so that the metoprolol salt is obtained. Clinically,
hydrochloride, succinate, fumarate or
tartrate of the compound is utilized as common medicinefor treating
hypertensive disease, coronary
disease, congestive
heart failure and arrhythmia. The raw materials of the preparation method are cheap and easy to obtain, the water and the
ethanol are utilized as the dissolvent so as to hardly cause
pollution, the method is convenient in operation, high in purity of the prepared metoprolol salt, high in yield, lower in cost and extremely suitable for
mass production.
