The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical
chemistry, and particularly relates to a preparation method of
parecoxib sodium intermediate; the method comprises the steps of: (a) adding the crude product of the compound of formula (II) and an alkaline substance into
solvent A for recrystallization, and separating out
solid B; (b) mixing
solid B with
solvent C and stirring, and separating to obtain
solid D; (c)
drying solid D to obtain the refined product of the compound of formula (II). The refining method of the compound of formula (II) provided by the present invention can significantly improve the purity of the crude product of the compound of formula (II) in a high-yield manner; it has the advantages of simple operation, easy control of parameter conditions, and low cost in large-scale industrial production. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing
parecoxib sodium by a one-pot method from valdecoxib, which does not require the separate isolation of
parecoxib, and the production process is simpler, which is conducive to large-scale industrial production.
