Objective To study the improved method for synthesis of dehydroxymethylepoxyquinomicin (DHMEQ). Methods Aspirin and 2,5-dimethoxyaniline were used as starting materials to synthesize the target compound by condensation, oxidation with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene, epoxidation with hydrogen peroxide, deketalization by acid catalysis, and NaBH₄ reduction. The key process was the epoxidation reaction that was monitored by HPLC, and reaction condition was adjusted to optimize the synthetic process. Results The process of column chromatography could be eliminated. After optimization, the purity of target compound was 99.4%, and the total recovery of the synthetic route was 30.0%. Conclusion After optimization, the synthetic process of DHMEQ has the advantage of simple operation, and the product quality can be controlled. Therefore, the improved method for synthesis of DHMEQ is suitable for industrial production of drugs.
