The invention relates to a preparation method of a
pitavastatin calcium intermediate, which comprises the following steps: (1) under the protection of
nitrogen, carrying out
chemical reaction on compounds N7 and NBS and a
solvent at 30-80 DEG C to prepare an
intermediate product compound N8.1, and (2) adding
triphenylphosphine into the reaction solution obtained in the step (1), heating to 60-120DEG C for reaction, cooling to 0-20 DEG C for stirring
crystallization after the reaction is finished, and filtering to obtain a compound N8.2, wherein the specific synthetic
route is as follows. Thepreparation method has the advantages of mild
reaction conditions, no generation of a large amount of
bromine-containing and
phosphorus-containing
wastewater in the reaction process, no influences ofacids and bases on the
intermediate product compound N8.1, and difficult
decomposition, so the yield of the target product is high and reaches 90% or above, the purity is high and reaches 99% or above, and the product has the advantages of simple post-treatment, greenness and
environmental protection, and suitableness for industrial production.
