The invention provides a synthesis method for a key intermediate, analogue or salt of ticlopidine. The synthesis method comprises the following steps of: (1) adding 6-nitro-2,3-dichlorobenzaldehyde and
glycine or corresponding substituted
glycine into a solution and adding a
reducing agent to completely react to obtain N-(6-nitro-2,3-dichlorobenzyl)
glycine and an analogue thereof; and (2) completely reacting the N-(6-nitro-2,3-dichlorobenzyl) glycine and the analogue thereof under the action of a catalyst to obtain the key intermediate, analogue or salt of the ticlopidine, wherein the solution in the step (1) is a
mixed solution of a
protic solvent and an inorganic base, and the
reducing agent is one or a mixture of
sodium borohydride,
potassium borohydride,
lithium borohydride,
sodium cyanoborohydride and acetic
sodium borohydride. The method is simple in operation, mild and easily-controlled in condition, convenient for aftertreatment, environment-friendly and higher in yield, and is a brand new efficient industrial synthesis method for the key intermediate, analogue or salt of the ticlopidine.
