For passage water.
On the other hand, the invention provides crystal formation II preparation method, the method includes the steps of:(a) by thunder for song
Crude product heating for dissolving is filled in water and the mixed solvent of organic solvent;(b) 0~10 DEG C is cooled to, crystallization is stood;(c) separate, dry
Produce.Wherein described organic solvent is selected from tetrahydrofuran, Isosorbide-5-Nitrae-dioxane.
In step (a), the mass ratio of water and organic solvent is 1:0.25~4.
In step (b), optionally, anti-solvent water is added into system, the amount of anti-solvent water is the quality proportion for adding to water
For 80~90%.
In step (c), drying mode is preferably dried in vacuo, and preferably drying temperature is 30~60 DEG C.Drying temperature and time
Difference, can obtain the hydrate of different molar contents, as shown in the table:
(1) screening of recrystallization solvent
Experiment shows that Raltitrexed is insoluble in water, is also insoluble in the organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, but inventor is surprised
Ground is found, in the suspension of Raltitrexed tetrahydrofuran suspension or Isosorbide-5-Nitrae-dioxane, is added after a certain proportion of water,
Raltitrexed dissolubility strengthens.Recrystallization can obtain Raltitrexed crystal in the mixed system of water and organic solvent.Following table
It is specific screening process, is 1 by mass ratio:1 water and organic solvent is carried out as recrystallization solvent to crude product Raltitrexed
Recrystallization, it is as a result as follows:
