Azidothymidine Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Thymine deoxyribonucleoside and triphenylphosphine are dissolved in dimethylformamide, slowly drop into a solution of p-methoxybenzoic acid and diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) dissolved in dimethylformamide After stirring at room temperature, add triphenylphosphine and DEAD. After stirring the reaction, the reaction solution was poured into ether and left at 0°C overnight. The filtered solid was washed with a small amount of ether and dried to obtain an esterified oxygen bridge with a yield of 84.1%. The oxygen bridge and sodium azide were stirred in dimethylformamide at 125°C. Cool to room temperature, pour it into 5% hydrochloric acid, and extract with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with 20% sodium chloride solution to neutrality, dried, concentrated, and dried in vacuum to obtain the azide derivative in 81.8% yield. The methanol solution of the azide derivative and sodium methoxide was stirred at room temperature and left overnight. Water was added, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and then water was added. It was extracted with ether, and saturated sodium chloride was added to the separated aqueous layer, which was left overnight. After cooling to 0°C and filtering, the filter cake was washed with a small amount of ethanol, dissolved in water, and acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid to Ph=2. The water was distilled off under reduced pressure, washed with 20% sodium chloride, and dried to obtain an off-white zidovudine solid with a yield of 89.0% and a melting point of 119.0-122.0°C.
