The invention relates to a synthetic method for
trandolapril key intermediate (2S, 3aR and 7as)-octahydro-1H-indole-2-
carboxylic acid. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining a pair of cis 1, 2-
cyclohexane dimethyl acid mono-methyl ester after refluxing
hexahydrophthalic anhydride by
methanol, splitting the cis 1, 2-
cyclohexane dimethyl acid mono-methyl ester by (-) N, N-dimethyl amino
diol to obtain 1, 2-
cyclohexane dimethyl acid mono-methyl ester of (1R, cis) and (1S, cis) respectively; refluxing (1R, cis)-1, 2-cyclohexane dimethyl acid mono-methyl ester obtained by reclaiming
mother liquor in
hydrochloric acid to obtain cyclohexane o-dioctyl
phthalate, and cyclizing the cyclohexane o-dioctyl
phthalate to obtain an initial
raw material of the
hexahydrophthalic anhydride; and circulating the processes unceasingly to improve the
impurity of the (1R, cis)-1, 2-cyclohexane dimethyl acid mono-methyl ester, and then directly entering a follow-up synthesizing process. The process effectively solves the problems of treatment of (1S, cis) 1, 2-cyclohexane dimethyl acid mono-methyl ester after
racemization of (d1)1, 2-cyclohexane dimethyl acid mono-methyl ester and yield of (1R, cis)-1, 2-cyclohexane dimethyl acid mono-methyl ester, improves utilization efficiency of raw materials, reduces cost of products, is more suitable for industrialized production, can effectively improve follow-up reaction efficiency, and saves energy of a
system.
