The present application relates to a kind of preparation of
zidovudine azide intermediate (compound of formula I) using tubular reactor method, comprising the following steps: preparation of premix solution: compound of formula II,
sodium azide,
organic acid is dissolved in DMSO solution, preheating, standby;(2) the premix solution prepared in step (1) is input into tubular reactor by
peristaltic pump;(3) receiving
bottle is placed at the outlet of tubular reactor, and the
effluent received is the reaction mixture containing compound of formula I;(4) reaction mixture is pumped into water by
peristaltic pump, stirred at
room temperature, crystallized, filtered, and dried to obtain compound of formula I. Wherein, the tubular reactor is coiled by pipeline with a certain inner
diameter. The preparation method uses equipment structure simple, easy to operate, on the one hand, reduce the risk of operation in the actual production process of
azide, on the other hand, realize the reaction efficiency and the yield greatly, realize product yield not less than 92%, and product purity is higher than 95%.
