The invention relates to a method for synthesizing
cefditoren pivoxil. The method comprises that D-7ACA reacts with an oxidizing
reagent to produce a compound 1, the compound 1 is protected through
silanization to produce a compound 2, 4-methylthiazole-5-
methanol and NaI undergo an
iodination reaction in the presence of a small amount of
sulfuric acid for
catalysis,
triphenylphosphine is added into the
reaction system and undergoes a reaction to produce a compound 3, the compound 3 is added into the compound 2 liquid and undergoes a reaction, the
reaction product is concentrated,
methanol anda small amount of concentrated
hydrochloric acid are added into the concentrated product, the concentrated product is deprotected and crystallized to form
cefditoren mother nucleuses, 7-ATCA and an AEactive ester undergo a reaction under alkaline conditions, the
reaction product is crystallized to form a
cefditoren sodium wet product, the cefditoren
sodium wet product is added into iodomethyl pivalate and undergoes a reaction in the presence of a
phase transfer catalyst and the product is crystallized to form a
cefditoren pivoxil crude product. In preparation of the compound 1, cefditoren
sodium and
cefditoren pivoxil, single solvents are used and are easy to recover. The method has the advantages of simple operation, high product conversion rate, few impurities and low production cost and is suitable for industrial production of
cefditoren pivoxil.
