To obtain the final product.Wherein the 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 specific gravity for adding to water
It is 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
The hydrate of different molar contents can be obtained in difference, 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 discovery, in Raltitrexed tetrahydrofuran suspension or Isosorbide-5-Nitrae-dioxane suspension, after a certain proportion of water is added,
The enhancing of Raltitrexed dissolubility.Available Raltitrexed crystal is recrystallized in the mixed system of water and organic solvent.Following table
It is specific screening process, the water and organic solvent that mass ratio is 1:1 carries out crude product Raltitrexed as recrystallization solvent
Recrystallization, as a result as follows:
