Provided is a method of purifying a terpenoid amino alcohol derivative, including providing a crude terpenoid amino alcohol derivative; performing an acid/base crystallization process of the crude terpenoid amino alcohol derivative to obtain an organic salt; and reacting the organic salt with NaOH and toluene to obtain a purified terpenoid amino alcohol derivative. Also provided is a method of preparing p-mentha-2,8-diene-1-ol from the purified terpenoid amino alcohol derivative.

Method for purification of terpenoid amino alcohol derivatives

Provided is a method for preparing a tropane derivative, maraviroc, including reacting a compound of formula (II) with a compound of formula (I), wherein the compound of formula (II) is prepared by the steps of acetylation of a compound of formula (III), activation and substitution of a compound of formula (IV) by a chlorination agent, cyclization of a compound of formula (V), and debenzylation of a compound of formula (VI) by hydrogenation. Hence, the present disclosure provides a method for preparing maraviroc with good yield and simple operation.
