The invention belongs to the field of
chemical synthesis, and discloses a method for preparing a
darunavir intermediate namely (3R,3aS,6aR)-hexahydrofuro[2,3-b]
furan-3-ol. According to the method, (R)-3-hydroxyl-4-acetaldol derivatives (I) are used as raw materials, and under the action of a catalyst, the (R)-3-hydroxyl-4-acetaldol derivatives (I) stereoselectively react with an ethanediol derivative so as to obtain an intermediate (II); and the obtained intermediate (II) is subjected to
protecting group removal, and under the acid condition, cyclization is performed, so that the (3R,3aS,6aR)-hexahydrofuro[2,3-b]
furan-3-ol is obtained. According to the preparation method, the raw materials are low in cost and easy to obtain, the reaction
stereoselectivity is high, the operation is simple, the
route is short, the cost is low, and the method is suitable for industrialized production of
darunavir.(As shown in the description).
