The present application belongs to the fields of
pharmaceutical technology and
organic synthesis technology, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a
brinzolamide intermediate. In the present application, triacetyl-5-chloro-2-(benzylthio)
thiophene is dissolved in
ethyl acetate, water is added, stirring is performed at 2°C to 10°C while
chlorine gas is slowly introduced, and washing with water is then performed to obtain a
reaction product.
Ammonia gas is slowly introduced into the
reaction product, and after the introduction of
ammonia gas is completed, the
reaction product is sequentially washed with water and saturated brine. After concentrating under reduced pressure until no liquid flows out, tert-butyl methyl
ether is added, and after stirring, a
solid is collected by means of
filtration. The
solid is rinsed with tert-butyl methyl
ether, and dried to obtain triacetyl-5-chloro-2-
thiophene sulfonamide. In the present application, to perform the reaction, water is used for
catalysis and
chlorine gas is used as both a chlorinating agent and an
oxidizing agent, and materials such as
sodium tungstate are not used; the preparation method involves simple steps, a shortened reaction time, reduced reaction
material consumption and reduced production costs, while achieving the high yield and high purity of a target product.
