Synthesis method

1. Obtained from the condensation, cyclization and hydrolysis of ethyl fluoroacetate. 1. Condensation and cyclization. Put the sodium methoxide methanol solution into a dry stainless steel reaction pot, stir and concentrate under reduced pressure until the sodium methoxide becomes white powder, cool to 50°C, add toluene, then cool to below 10°C, add ethyl formate dropwise ester. After the addition is completed, add ethyl fluoroacetate dropwise while still keeping the temperature below 10°C. After the addition is completed, stir the reaction at about 30°C for 8 hours. Let it stand until you get a light yellow thick mixture. Add methanol and methylisourea sulfate to the condensate, stir and heat to 66-70°C for reflux reaction for 6 hours. The methanol is recovered under normal pressure until the reactant becomes a thin paste, and then evaporated under reduced pressure until it becomes viscous. Add water, heat to dissolve, and add activated carbon. Filter, acidify the filtrate with concentrated hydrochloric acid to pH 3-4, precipitate crystals, cool and filter, wash the filter cake with cold water, slurry it with boiling water and soak it, filter, wash with cold water, and dry to obtain 5-fluoro-4-hydroxy-2- Alloxypyrimidine (C5H5FN2O2). 2. Hydrolyze the above cyclization product 5-fluoro-4-hydroxy-2-methoxypyrimidine into 20% hydrochloric acid, hydrolyze at 60°C for 4 hours, and obtain 5-fluorouracil after post-treatment.

Purpose

1. Oncology drugs. It has certain curative effects on a variety of tumors such as digestive tract tumors, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, chorioepithelial cancer, cervical cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, skin cancer (topical application), vulvar leukoplakia (topical application), etc. Adverse reactions mainly include bone marrow transplantation and gastrointestinal reactions. Severe cases may have diarrhea and phlebitis at the local injection site, and a few may have neurological reactions such as cerebellar degeneration and ataxia. Blood pictures should be checked strictly during medication.
