The invention discloses a preparation method and a detection method of a
roflumilast material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing 3-cyclopropyl methoxy group-4-difluoro methoxy group
benzoic acid SM-1,
thionyl chloride,
dimethyl formamide with
toluene, and carrying out an acylating chlorination reaction to obtain a midbody 1; mixing 3,5-dichloro-4-aminopyridine SM-2,
tetrahydrofuran with
potassium tert-butoxide and carrying out a salt forming reaction to obtain
tetrahydrofuran solution of a midbody 2; and then mixing the midbody 1 and the midbody 2 with
tetrahydrofuran, carrying out amidation to obtain a crude product of
roflumilast, and refining the crude product of
roflumilast to prepare the roflumilast material. Aiming to overcome the shortage of the prior art, the preparation process of the roflumilast material is optimized, so that the
curative effect for treating diseases such as chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (
COPD) is more remarkable; and besides, a systematic, complete and effective composition identifying and content measuring method is provided, so that the quality of the
medicine can be effectively controlled, and the clinical effect is ensured.
