The invention discloses a
tazobactam synthesis method, which belongs to the technical field of medicines, and includes the steps: firstly, enabling 6,6-dihydropenam
sulfoxide acid diphenylmethyl ester serving as raw materials to undergo thermal
cracking and chloromethylation reaction to obtain 2beta-chloromethyl
penicillanic acid diphenylmethyl ester; secondly, adding
oxidizing agent to oxidize the 2beta-chloromethyl
penicillanic acid diphenylmethyl ester-1beta-
oxide, enabling the oxidized 2beta-chloromethyl
penicillanic acid diphenylmethyl ester-1beta-
oxide to react with
sodium azide to generate 2beta-hydrazoic methyl penicillanic acid diphenylmethyl ester-1beta-
oxide, and then generating 2beta-hydrazoic methyl penicillanic acid diphenylmethyl ester-1,1- dioxide by means of oxidization under the action of
potassium permanganate and
acetic acid; and finally, preparing the
tazobactam by means of deprotection under the action of
acetylene cyclization and
metacresol. Compared with a past 6-APA (
aminopenicillanic acid)
route, the
tazobactam synthesis method has the advantages that the step of
sulfur atom single oxidization is added, so that possibility of ring expansion due to affinity of
lone pair electrons on a
sulfur atom is blocked, and transformation of five-membered ring products to six-membered ring by-products during hydrazoic reaction can be effectively controlled.
