The invention relates to a method for removing protective groups and preparing a dimethoxy
taxane compound. The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines used for treating
prostate cancer. According to the invention, an acid is dissolved in
methanol;
silica gel with a specification of 100-800 meshes is added to the solution, and the solution is sufficiently stirred under
room temperature; the solution is dried by rotary
evaporation, such that acid-activated
silica gel is obtained; the acid-activated
silica gel is dissolved in an
organic solvent; a compound 3-Boc-2-p-methoxy phenyl-4-phenyl-(2R,4S,5R)-1,3-
oxazolidine-5-
carboxylate 4alpha-acetoxy-2alpha-benzoyloxy-5beta,20-
epoxy-1beta-hydroxyl-9-
oxygen-7beta,10beta-dimethoxy-11-taxadiene-13alpha ester is added to the solution; the mixture is continuously stirred, and is subject to a reaction; an obtained reaction liquid is processed through pump
filtration; an obtained filtrate is dried by condensation, and is processed through silica gel
column chromatography, such that the product dimethoxy
taxane compound is obtained. According to the invention, the protective groups are removed in an acidic environment, such that the dimethoxy
taxane compound is prepared. The method is advantaged in simple operation, suitability for industrialized productions, no by-product during the reaction process, improved reaction yield, and improved product purity.
