The invention discloses a method for preparing
parecoxib. The method comprises the following steps: an initial
raw material 3-oxo-2-phenylbutanoyl
chloride and
benzene undergo a Friedel-Crafts reaction to generate 1,2-diphenylbutane-1,3-dione, 1,2-diphenylbutane-1,3-dione is sulfonated by
chlorosulfonic acid or concentrated
sulfuric acid /
acetyl chloride to obtain 4-(1,3-dioxo-1-phenylbutyl-2-yl)-1-
sulfonyl chloride, 4-(1,3-dioxo-1-phenylbutyl-2-yl)-1-
sulfonyl chloride is acted by
ammonia water to generate 4-(1,3-dioxo-1-phenylbutyl-2-yl)-1-sulfonamide, and 4-(1,3-dioxo-1-phenylbutyl-2-yl)-1-sulfonamide reacts with
propionic anhydride or
propionyl chloride to obtain N-(4-(1,3-dioxo-1-phenylbutyl-2-yl)phenylsulfonyl)propionamide, N-(4-(1,3-dioxo-1-phenylbutyl-2-yl)phenylsulfonyl)propionamide undergoes condensation by using
hydroxylamine hydrochloride to synthesize a ring, and
dehydration is carried out under an acidic condition to obtain
parecoxib. The
parecoxib is prepared from 3-oxo-2-phenylbutanoyl chloride as the initial
raw material through the Friedel-Crafts reaction, a sulfonation reaction, an amidation reaction and a
condensation reaction. The method has the advantages of low cost of the initial
raw material, simple process, low requirements of
reaction conditions, simple post-treatment operation, high product yield and purity, and realization of large-scale production.
