The invention discloses a
vortioxetine hydrobromide crystal preparation method. The method comprises a, dissolving
vortioxetine free alkali in
ethyl acetate at a temperature of 20-30 DEG C, b, carrying out
filtration, cooling the filtrate to a temperature of 0-10 DEG C, dropwisely adding an
ethyl acetate solution of
hydrobromic acid into the filtrate along with
thermal insulation and then carrying out
thermal insulation stirring for 2-8h, c, filtering the mixture subjected to
thermal insulation stirring in the step b to obtain
filter cake 1, leaching the
filter cake 1 by
ethyl acetate, and carrying out stirring washing in ethyl acetate at a temperature of 0-10 DEG C for 0.5-5h, d, filtering the mixture subjected to stirring washing in the step c to obtain
filter cake 2, leaching the filter cake 2 by methyl tert-butyl
ether / ethyl acetate pre-cooled at a temperature of 0-10 DEG C and carrying out stirring washing in methyl tert-butyl
ether at a temperature of 10-30 DEG C for 15-24h, and e, filtering the mixture subjected to stirring washing in the step d to obtain filter cake 3, leaching the filter cake 3 by methyl tert-butyl
ether and carrying out
vacuum drying at a temperature of 40-50 DEG C to obtain the product. The method has the advantages of good
repeatability, simple processes, a high yield and high product purity and is suitable for industrial production.
