The invention belongs to the technical field of
medicine synthesis, and particularly relates to a preparation method of
miglitol. The method comprises the following steps: (1) adding Pd / C and SM-1 into a reaction
solvent in a high-pressure reaction kettle, adding an acid, conducting stirring, controlling the
temperature and pressure, carrying out
hydrogenation reaction, cooling the reaction solution to
room temperature after the reaction is finished, conducting filtering, and carrying out reduced pressure concentration until the reaction solution is dry to obtain a
solid; and (2) adding an
organic solvent into the obtained
solid for
dissolution, adding a
crystallization solvent for
crystallization, completely conducting crystallizing, conducting filtering, and carrying out
vacuum drying toobtain a target compound
miglitol. Compared with the prior art, the invention provides a simple, convenient and efficient method for preparing
miglitol, and the whole synthesis method has the advantages of short
route, simple operation steps, high reaction yield, high product purity, mild
reaction conditions, effective shortening of the production period, and suitableness for
industrial scale-upproduction.
