The invention relates to a preparation method of tetramisole
hydrochloride, and aims at solving the problems that the conventional preparation method of tetramisole
hydrochloride is complex in process and the yield is low. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: firstly, heating and reacting
styrene oxide and
ethanol amine so as to obtain an addition product; secondly, adding an
organic solvent and lewis acid into the addition product, controlling the
reaction temperature and adding
thionyl chloride so as to obtain a chlorination product; thirdly, adding deionized water into the chlorination product, dropping NaOH solution, subsequently dropping concentrated HCl and
thiourea, heating and refluxing, cooling and separating a cyclization product; fourthly, mixing the cyclization product with concentrated HCl and lewis acid, adding NaOH solution so as to adjust the pH of the
system, and heating and reacting so as to obtain a tetramisole product; and fifthly, adding deionized water into the tetramisole product, dropping concentrated HCl, and subsequently increasing the temperature and reacting so as to obtain tetramisole
hydrochloride. According to the preparation method, tetramisole hydrochloride is synthesized by using a five-
step method, the process is simple, the yield of each step can be more than 85%, and the yield is high.
