  • Publication number: 20140370555
    Abstract: The invention relates to a new method for preparing (R)-praziquantel. In the invention, by taking advantage of the high stereo selectivity, site selectivity and region selectivity of an enzyme, an intermediate of a pure optical and chiral (R)-praziquantel are obtained by means of the dynamic kinetic resolution of an enantiomer from the synthesized racemate or derivatives thereof, and the (R)-praziquantel is obtained by using various conventional and mature organic chemical reactions with higher yield. The method of the invention has the potential advantages of easily available raw materials, low cost, environmentally safer process and convenience for large-scale production. Also, the purity of the end product can be more than 98%. By adopting the invention, the quality of the product is improved and a basis for developing high quality of active pharmaceutical ingredients and formulations is established, and thus the pending industrial problem of purifying praziquantel over 30 years becomes solvable.
