The disclosure provides processes for preparing 5-fluoro-2-methyl-1-(4-methylthiobenzylidene)-3-indanacetonitrile and for preparing sulindac, relating to the field of medicine. The former comprises mixing 6-fluoro-2-methyl-1-indanone, cyanoacetic acid, a first organic solvent and an acetic acid-based catalyst to proceed with a first condensation reaction to give a first condensation reaction solution, which contains 5-fluoro-2-methyl-3-indanacetonitrile; and mixing the first condensation reaction solution, per se, with a base, a second organic solvent and 4-(methylthio)benzaldehyde to proceed with a second condensation reaction to give 5-fluoro-2-methyl-1-(4-methylthiobenzylidene)-3-indanacetonitrile. The process is a one-pot process without separation of 5-fluoro-2-methyl-3-indanacetonitrile from the solvent, shortening the synthetic route, simplifying the preparation process and improving the 5-fluoro-2-methyl-1-(4-methylthiobenzylidene)-3-indanacetonitrile yield.

Disclosed are a low-migration hindered phenol antioxidant compound, a preparation method and a composition. During production, processing or use, polymers experience degradation due to factors such as light, oxygen and heat. The oxidation resistance thereof is often increased by adding one or more common antioxidants, thereby inhibiting and delaying the rate if oxidative degradation thereof. The structures of traditional hindered phenolic antioxidant compounds migrate in polymers. The hindered phenolic antioxidant compound of the present invention has more hindered phenol units, and can achieve the objectives of low extraction and low migration.
