The application discloses a purification method of tediroxine, and belongs to the technical field of
drug purification, and comprises the following steps: dissolving, filtering and separating: under the condition of a first preset temperature, a V1 amount of water is added dropwise, a small amount of
solid is precipitated from the
system, and after filtering, the
system is separated into two
layers, and the lower layer is taken;
crystallization: under the condition of a second preset temperature, a V2 amount of water is added dropwise, and
solid tediroxine is precipitated, and after
crystal growing, filtering and
drying, the tediroxine is obtained, and the
mass ratio of the crude tediroxine to the V1 amount and the V2 amount of water is 1:6.0-10.0:30-50. The application has the beneficial effects that the use of other second-class solvents is reduced, no harmful gas is generated, the
reaction temperature is easy to control, the probability of danger generation is reduced, the method is low in cost and
environmental protection, the yield of the product is high, and the product is high in purity.
