The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a refining method of mirabegron, which can obtain a mirabegron fine product which has uniform particle size and good fluidity and is suitable for a preparation.
Specifically, the mirabegron refining method provided by the invention adopts specific alcohol/water as a solvent, and proper mirabegron crystals are precipitated by controlling the using amount of the solvent used for crystallization and the grain diameter, crystallization mode and crystallization time of the added seed crystal, and the obtained mirabegron refined product meets the requirements of subsequent preparation processes in the aspects of grain diameter, bulk density, fluidity and the like.
The beneficial effects of the invention are realized by the following technical scheme.

(B) Adding mirabegron seed crystal with the mass ratio of 0.5-2.5 wt% to the mirabegron crude product at the temperature of 0-30 ℃, keeping the seed crystal with the particle size of 5 mu m or less and D90 or less and 35 mu m, standing for 1-2 h, stirring for 4-8 h at the stirring speed of 60-400 r/min;
(C) Filtering, washing and drying to obtain the refined mirabegron.
The proportion and concentration of the alcohol/water system used in the invention are one of the keys for realizing the technical effect, and when the alcohol/water system is ethanol/water, methanol/water and isopropanol/water, and the concentration of the solution is 0.04-0.8 g/ml, the dissolution of mirabegron and the subsequent precipitation of crystals are facilitated. Specifically, in the refining method of mirabegron, in the step (a), the alcohol/water system is methanol/water, ethanol/water or isopropanol/water, and the ratio of alcohol: water =3 to 4, and the solution concentration is 0.04 to 0.8g/ml.

More specifically, in the refining method of mirabegron, in the step (B), the temperature of adding the seed crystal is 15-20 ℃, the mass ratio of the added seed crystal to the crude mirabegron is 1wt%, the particle size is 15 mu m or more and D90 or less and 25 mu m or less, and the crystallization stirring speed is 100-200 r/min.

TABLE 1 yield, purity, angle of repose, bulk density comparison, and particle size comparison of Mirabegron refined by different methods
As can be seen from the data in table 1, the preparation method described in comparative example 1 involves ethyl acetate and water as the crystallization solvent, and the particle size obtained by crystallization is larger than that of the alcohol-water system, indicating that the alcohol-water system is superior to the ethyl acetate-water system for mirabegron crystallization. From the results of comparative examples 2 and 3 and comparative examples 6 and 7, it can be seen that the diameter of the crystallized seed crystal is large, and therefore the diameter of the mirabegron fine product obtained by induced crystallization is large, and the mirabegron fine product is easy to bind and low in fluidity. From the results of comparative examples 4 and 5, it can be seen that the amount of crystals during crystallization is small, crystallization is incomplete, the amount of crystals is large, sudden crystallization is easily caused, and the obtained mirabegron is bonded and agglomerated, i comparative examples 8 to 13 use a solvent alone for crystallization, and due to lack of induction of seed crystals, the yield and purity of the mirabegron obtained are low, and crystal nuclei are irregularly aggregated, so that the obtained particles have large particle size, large angle of repose, poor fluidity, and part of the crystals are bonded in blocks, which is not favorable for the requirements of subsequent preparations. And all parameters of the embodiments 1 to 6 fall within the scope of the invention, and a proper crystallization solvent is selected, so that the yield and the purity are ensured, and the obtained mirabegron fine product has the advantages of proper particle size and good fluidity by proper seed crystal and stirring conditions, and is more beneficial to the development and the use of subsequent preparations.
