The invention discloses a method for preparing a
flurbiprofen axetil compound. The method comprises the following steps: adding 1.0mol of 2-fluoro-alpha-methyl(1,1'-diphenyl)-4-
acetic acid and 1L of
solvent in a reaction container, stirring and heating to 70-75 DEG C, reacting for 2h, cooling to 20 DEG C, dropping 1.5-1.7mol of 1-bromoethyl acetate, reacting for 5h, and cooling; adding
ethyl acetate and water, then separating out the organic phase, washing with water, washing with a saturated
sodium carbonate solution, then washing with water, and finally washing with saturated
salt water; and carrying out rotary
evaporation on the organic phase to be dry, and vacuumizing to remove the
solvent and obtain a crude product; and then dissolving the crude product with an
organic solvent, adding
silica gel and
activated carbon, heating to
reflux for 20-40min, cooling, performing suction filtering, and vacuumizing to obtain
flurbiprofen axetil, wherein the
solvent is N, N-
dimethylformamide or
potassium carbonate; and the
organic solvent is a mixture of an ester solvent and an
ether solvent, the volume ratio of the ester solvent to the
ether solvent is 1:(5-30) and the addition amount of the
organic solvent is 1-2 times that the
mass of the crude product. By adopting the preparation method of the
flurbiprofen axetil compound, the problems of the existing purification method can be well solved; the method has low cost, simpleness in operations and good product quality; and the quality of the product obtained through the experiment is higher than the import standard.
