The invention discloses a method for preparing 5-methoxy-4,6-dihydroxy
pyrimidine disodium. The method comprises the following steps: 1) performing Clancy reaction, namely, feeding
solid sodium ethoxide into a reaction kettle, further feeding
methoxyacetic acid methyl acetate and
diethyl oxalate for reaction, after the reaction, adding trichloro
ethylene, stirring and diluting, adding water, 30%
hydrochloric acid, adjusting the pH value, separating trichloro
ethylene, extracting a
water layer by using trichloro
ethylene, recycling a trichloro ethylene
solvent, decarbonizing, and then performing reduced pressure
distillation to obtain methoxy-
malonic acid methyl
ethyl ester; and 2) performing cyclization reaction, namely, firstly, feeding
sodium methylate into a reaction pot, adding a
silicon dioxide-aluminum
oxide catalyst, stirring and heating, adding
formamide and methoxy-
malonic acid methyl
ethyl ester, after that, keeping the temperature to react, after keeping the temperature, recycling
methanol till no liquid is discharged, subsequently adding water, cooling, discharging, and rotating a damp product to dry under reduced pressure so as to obtain the 5-methoxy-4,6-dihydroxy
pyrimidine disodium. The method disclosed by the invention is high in yield, can greatly reduce
energy consumption, and is applicable to industrial production.
