The invention discloses a green synthesis method of
cidofovir, and the specific synthesis process of a chiral N4-benzoylcytosine
diol compound comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing a chiral N4-benzoylcytosine
epoxy compound, water and an
ionic liquid catalyst, adding the mixture into a high-pressure reaction kettle, introducing CO2 gas, and reacting at 0-140 DEG C, and after the reaction is finished, separating the product and the
ionic liquid catalyst, carrying out
column chromatography on the product to obtain a chiral N4-benzoylcytosine
diol compound, carrying out a series of reactions such as hydroxyl protection, phospholipidation and deprotection to synthesize the target product
cidofovir, and repeatedly recycling the separated
ionic liquid catalyst. The method does not need to use
metal, inorganic base and other catalysts, does not need to add a large amount of
solvent, is simple and convenient to operate and mild in reaction condition, and the used catalyst is ionic liquid and is relatively environment-friendly. Meanwhile, the yield of the synthesized target product is relatively high, and the ee value can be maintained.
