Abstract
Abstract The oxidation of rabeprazole sulfide is a key step in the synthesis of rabeprazole, a drug for the treatment of stomach acid-related disorders. The current rabeprazole production process adopts one pot batch process, which has low reaction efficiency and poor stability. A continuous process can greatly improve the production efficiency and solve the above problems. Therefore, the reaction parameters of rabeprazole in microreactor were explored through laboratory experiments to explore the possibility of continuous production of rabeprazole. Rabeprazole sodium was synthesized by using rabeprazole thioether as a raw material and sodium hypochlorite solution as the oxidant. Oxidation, quenching, acid-base regulation and extraction were completed continuously in the microreactor. Rabeprazole solution with a purity of 98.78% (±0.13%) can be obtained continuously in 56 s, whereas intermittent production lasted for at least 2 h. Thus, the microreactor can effectively improve the oxidation synthesis efficiency of rabeprazole, and provide reference for the realization of other reactions in the microreactor.
