The invention belongs to the technical field of
drug synthesis, and particularly relates to an improved preparation method of a fenerenone intermediate 2-cyanoethyl 4-(4-cyano-2-methoxybenzyl)-2, 8-dimethyl-5-oxo-1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydro-1, 6-naphthyridine-3-
carboxylate, which comprises the following three steps: S1, preparing an intermediate I; s2, preparing an intermediate II; and S3, preparing an intermediate V, namely, the fenerenone intermediate, namely, 2-cyanoethyl 4-(4-cyano-2-methoxybenzyl)-2, 8-dimethyl-5-oxo-1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydro-1, 6-naphthyridine-3-
carboxylate. The preparation method of the fenerenone intermediate comprises the following steps of: 1, preparing an intermediate A, and 2, 4-dimethyl-5-oxo-1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydro-1, 6-naphthyridine-3-
carboxylate. The method has the advantages of short reaction flow and few operation steps, is favorable for improving the production efficiency, effectively reduces the possibility of material loss and
side reaction increase caused by tedious steps, reduces the
safety risk in the production process, reduces the potential
pollution to the environment, also improves the continuity and stability of the production process, and reduces the production cost. The industrial large-scale production is convenient to realize, the large demand of the market on the fenerenone intermediate is met, and the method has a good industrial application prospect.
