The invention discloses a preparation method of a
granisetron intermediate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: step 1, carrying out a
Mannich reaction on
acetone dicarboxylic acid represented by a formula III to obtain pseudopelletierine represented by a formula IV; step 2, carrying out a reaction on the pseudopelletierine and
hydroxylamine to prepare 3-pseudopelletierine oximerepresented by a formula V; and step 3, carrying out preparation by adopting one of the following schemes: (1) carrying out catalytic reduction on the 3-pseudopelletierine
oxime through
sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminumhydride and Lewis acid to obtain a crude product of endo-3-amine-9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3,3,1]
nonane represented by a formula I, and directly using the crude product of endo-3-amine-9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3,3,1]
nonane to prepare
granisetron, or purifying the crude product of endo-3-amine-9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3,3,1]
nonane for preparing
granisetron; and (2) carrying out catalytichydrogenation reduction on the 3-pseudopelletierine
oxime through
Raney nickel to obtain a mixture of endo-3-amine-9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3,3,1]nonane, purifying the mixture to obtain endo-3-amine-9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3,3,1]nonane represented by the formula I, and using the endo-3-amine-9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3,3,1]nonane used for preparing granisetron. The method has the advantages of mild
reaction conditions, high reaction yield and low cost, and is suitable for industrial production.
