The invention relates to a new method for synthesizing an
ornidazole derivative, namely benzoyl
ornidazole. At present,
ornidazole is a third-generation novel
nitroimidazole derivative after
metronidazole and
tinidazole, has high anaerobe resistance and protozoan resistance, but is difficultly applied to children because of
bitter taste. The invention aims to provide a new method for synthesizing the ornidazole derivative. The synthesis method comprises the following steps of: adding ornidazole,
fatty acid and
fatty alcohol ester, and aliphatic
tertiary amine or
nitrogen heterocycle
organic base in turn, stirring for
dissolution and clarification, heating to refluxing temperature, dripping
benzoyl chloride, and reacting by keeping temperature under normal pressure; cooling, adding water, stirring, standing for demixing, adding water to wash an organic phase, cooling and freezing for
crystallization, filtering, washing, and
drying to obtain a crude product; and recrystallizing the crude product by using
ethanol to obtain the benzoyl ornidazole. The method has the advantages that: the obtained benzoyl ornidazole is a precursor
medicine of ornidazole, the original
bitter taste of the ornidazole is eliminated, and a method for industrially producing the benzoyl ornidazole is realized.
