This invention provides a process for synthesizing
sucrose octasulfate salt, specifically relating to the pharmaceutical field. The process involves heating 30-40g of
sulfur trioxide pyridine and 15-25g of
pyridine to 35-40°C, stirring and mixing at 200-300 rpm, and then adding 10-15g of
sucrose.
Nitrogen gas is then introduced, and the temperature is slowly raised to 75-80°C, reacting for 5-7 hours.
Pyridine is then separated using a
reflux condenser, and 50-150ml of
distilled water is added to dissolve the residual
solid. The mixture is then decolorized with diatomaceous earth and filtered to obtain a filtrate.
Potassium hydroxide solution is added to the filtrate until the pH reaches 9-12, followed by the addition of
anhydrous ethanol. The mixture is cooled at 0-5°C to crystallize and obtain a crude product. Recrystallization is then performed for 6-7 hours, followed by
solid-liquid separation to obtain a
filter cake. The
filter cake is then vacuum-dried at 70-80°C for 20-30 minutes to obtain the target product. This invention features simple synthesis steps, high reaction efficiency, and high product purity. Furthermore, the separation and purification operations are simple, effectively improving the yield.
