The invention belongs to the field of
medicine synthesis, and particularly relates to a preparation process of
dexketoprofen trometamol. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving 3-benzoyl phenyl
acetonitrile in a
solvent, adding a catalyst, a
chiral ligand, a
methylation reagent and alkali, irradiating with a
light source for reaction, and after the reaction is completed, filtering and concentrating the dry
solvent; adding water,
sodium hydroxide and TBAB (
Tetrabutylammonium Bromide) to react, and dropwise adding
hydrochloric acid until a
solid is separated out after the reaction is finished, so as to obtain
dexketoprofen; the method comprises the following steps: dissolving
dexketoprofen in a
solvent, dropwise adding an alcoholic solution of trometamol, and after dropwise adding, cooling, crystallizing and filtering to obtain the product dexketoprofen trometamol. According to the present invention, the chiral center construction of
ketoprofen is completed by using the chiral
catalysis and
photochemistry manner, and the
ketoprofen is completely converted into the dexketoprofen, such that the complex
route of splitting,
racemization and re-splitting in the prior art is avoided, the operation process is simplified, the conversion rate is high, the chiral purity is high, the process is safe, green and
environmentally friendly, and the high market competitiveness is provided.
