Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing escitalopram represented by a formula (I), which comprises the following step: reacting S-diol represented by a formula (II) in an aprotic organic solvent under the action of a phosphine complex compound, an azo reagent and a proton supplying agent in an atmosphere of an inert gas to obtain the escitalopram represented by the formula (I). The method uses a Mitsunobu reaction in the cyclization preparation of escitalopram represented by the structural formula (I) for the first time and has the unexpected advantages of excellent product configuration retention, prevention of racemization in a cyclization process and high optical purity and yield. In addition, the method of the invention is simple in operation, mild in condition, simple and convenient in post processing and suitable for large-scale industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a preparation method of escitalopram. Background technique [0002] Citalopram is a well-known commercialized antidepressant that is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Commercially available citalopram is a racemate, and its structure is as follows: [0003] [0004] Formula III [0005] It is currently known that the antidepressant effect of the dextrorotatory optical isomer in the molecule of citalopram, that is, the S-isomer, is at least 100 times stronger than that of its R-isomer. Compared with racemic citalopram, the S-isomer has higher 5-HT reuptake inhibition selectivity and lower affinity for other receptors, so it has better efficacy, fewer side effects, and simultaneous dose It can also be reduced by half. Therefore, since February 2002, the Danish Lingbi company has marketed its S-isomer in Switzerland and other European and American countries, with the common name of Escitalopram (escitalopram...
