The invention discloses a synthetic method for
repaglinide, belonging to the technical field of
chemical synthesis. The method comprises the following concrete steps: S1, obtaining a reaction solution, and carrying out standing for subsequent usage; S2, heating a
toluene solution to 10 to 20 DEG C, and adding a
mixed solution so as to obtain a colorless liquid; S3, mixing the reaction solution obtained in the step S1 with the colorless liquid, carrying out stirring at a
room temperature, then adding 60 to 80 ml of
methanol and 2 to 4 g of
sodium hydroxide, and carrying out heating and uniformmixing under stirring; S4, adding 3 to 6 g of a catalyst, and allowing the catalyst to participate a reaction; and S5, after completion of the reaction, carrying out pressurizing so as to recycle an
organic solvent, adjusting a pH value of an obtained material to 6 to 7 by using a
hydrochloric acid solution with a concentration of 5%, carrying out cooling
crystallization, and carrying out vacuum filtering, washing and
drying so as to obtain white
solid repaglinide. The synthetic method provided by the invention can shorten the integral time of the reaction, improves the rate of the reaction, is controllable for factors in the process of the reaction, can guarantee stable quality of a
reaction product, and has the advantages of mild
reaction conditions, short reaction time, simple process and applicability to industrialized production.
