Abstract

The invention discloses a metronidazole production method, belonging to the technical field of chemical synthesis. The method sequentially comprises the processes of mixed acid preparation, hydroxylation reaction, formic acid recovery, first neutralization, second neutralization, third neutralization and refining. The process of formic acid recovery specifically comprises the steps of transferring the hydroxylation liquid obtained by the hydroxylation reaction into a distillation kettle, controlling the temperature at 65-90 DEG C and the vacuum degree at (-0.085)-(-0.095)MPa, and performing reduced-pressure distillation to obtain formic acid. According to the metronidazole production method disclosed by the invention, the formic acid is recovered in a metronidazole production process, the usage amount of alkali and the discharge amount of wastewater are reduced, and the production cost is lowered. Meanwhile, the method disclosed by the invention improves the reaction yield of a final product by adjusting the reaction process and parameters.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis, in particular to a method for producing metronidazole. Background technique [0002] Metronidazole is also known as metronidazole, metronidazole, metronidazole, metronidazole, etc., and its chemical name is 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole-1-ethanol (2-methyl-5- nitroimidazole-1-ethanol), is a nitroimidazole synthetic antibacterial drug. It is widely used in clinical practice and has broad-spectrum anti-anaerobic and antiprotozoal effects. It is mainly used in the prevention and treatment of infections caused by anaerobic bacteria, such as respiratory tract, digestive tract, abdominal cavity and pelvic infection, skin soft tissue, bone and bone joints and other parts. infection and endocarditis, brain abscess, sepsis and meningitis caused by Bacteroides fragilis, and is also widely used in the prevention and treatment of oral anaerobic infection. The nitro group of metronidazole is reduced ...
