This application relates to the field of
drug synthesis technology and provides a method for preparing
levofloxacin. The method includes first mixing N,N-dimethylaminoacrylate,
triethylamine, and
toluene, then adding 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzoyl
fluoride dropwise and reacting it with L-2-aminopropanol. After post-treatment, a
toluene solution of the amine is obtained. Next, using N,N-
dimethylformamide or
toluene as a
solvent, a cyclization reaction is carried out with differentiated
feeding methods and
temperature control. The product is purified by hot slurrying with a non-alcoholic
organic solvent or a saturated
alcohol solution of the
levofloxacin cyclase. Finally, the product is purified by acidic
hydrolysis,
piperacillin reaction, and
dimethyl sulfoxide to obtain high-purity
levofloxacin. This application optimizes
solvent selection and
process integration, shortens reaction time, improves product yield and purity, reduces waste emissions, allows for
resource utilization of byproducts, and features a simple and easily industrialized process suitable for large-scale production.
