A novel method for synthesis of (R)-4-cyano-3-hydroxybutyric acid ethyl ester (1), a key intermediate of statins, was reported. The target compound 1 was successfully prepared via esterification, reduction, bromization and cyanation processes by using L-(—)-malic acid (2), which is an inexpensive and easily available starting material. The overall yield was 56.7%. The structures of intermediates and final product were determined by ESI-MS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR techniques, optical rotation and comparison with reported data. This method with the advantages of simply available starting material, easily conducted procedure, relatively high yield and easy purification is more suitable for scale-up production.

Key words: (R)-4-cyano-3-hydroxybutyric acid ethyl ester, L-(—)-malic acid, (3S)-3,4-dihydroxybutyric acid ethyl ester, (S)-4-bromo-3-hydroxybutyric acid ester, synthesis
