The invention discloses a preparation method of a
folic acid sulfhydrylation derivative. The preparation method comprises the following steps that -SH in
thiol is protected to obtain a derivative of
thiol, so that sulfydryl having high reaction activity is protected; then, in the presence of a catalyst and a dehydrating agent,
esterification reaction is carried out between hydroxyl on the protected
thiol derivative and
folic acid, so that a modified
folic acid derivative is obtained; a carbon sulphur bond in the
folic acid derivative is broken through reduction reaction; sulfydryl is formed again in a product, and therefore, the target product, namely sulfhydrylation folic acid, is obtained. According to the preparation method disclosed by the invention,
trityl chloride is replaced by triphenylcarbinol; the disadvantages of difficulty in separation of products and lower product yield are overcome; the product yield is increased; in the
esterification reaction, a
solid catalyst (macroporous cation exchange resin) is adopted, so that the separation efficiency of products is greatly improved; micromolecules, such as 4-dimethylamino-
pyridine (DMAP), are adopted in normal biological preparation; the micromolecules are easily dissolved in a
solvent and difficult to separate.
