The application belongs to the technical field of preparation of pharmaceutical intermediates, and particularly relates to a one-pot method for preparing a
sitagliptin intermediate. The one-pot method for preparing the
sitagliptin intermediate comprises the following steps: at
room temperature, 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid is dissolved in an
organic solvent A, the temperature is lowered to 0-5 DEG C,
thionyl chloride is added dropwise, after the dropwise addition is completed, the temperature is raised to 25-30 DEG C, and reaction is carried out for 2 hours;
thin layer chromatography analysis is used for monitoring; vacuum concentration is carried out; an intermediate oil is obtained;
solvent B is added;
ketene is charged; the temperature is lowered to -78 DEG C to
room temperature; reaction is carried out for 3 hours;
thin layer chromatography is used for monitoring; after the reaction is completed, the temperature is raised to
room temperature; stirring is continuously carried out for 12 hours; water is added; the liquid is left to stand and is separated into
layers; the organic phase is collected; extraction is carried out; rotary
evaporation is carried out; and the
sitagliptin intermediate II is obtained. The preparation method of the sitagliptin intermediate provided by the application has the advantages that raw materials are low in price and easy to obtain,
reaction conditions are mild, industrial production can be easily realized, the prepared intermediate is high in purity and high in yield.
