L-肉碱(维生素BT)和乙酰L-肉碱是长链脂肪酸运输的载体, 广泛用于医药、保健食品及饲料等行业. 本工作介绍了一种化学不对称合成盐酸L-肉碱和盐酸乙酰L-肉碱的方法. 以自制的手性噁唑硼烷为催化剂, 将起始原料γ-氯乙酰乙酸乙酯不对称催化氢化还原成(R)-γ-氯-β-羟基丁酸乙酯, 这一步的化学收率和光学收率都较高. 然后将(R)-γ-氯-β-羟基丁酸乙酯转化为盐酸L-肉碱和盐酸乙酰L-肉碱. 合成盐酸L-肉碱只需两步, 总收率为68.3%, ee值可达94.6%; 合成盐酸乙酰L-肉碱需三步, 总收率为62.6%, ee值可达96.8%. 还考察了反应温度、催化剂及还原剂的量等因素对γ-氯乙酰乙酸乙酯的不对称氢化还原的化学产率和光学收率的影响.

The enantioselective synthesis of L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochlorides was de-scribed. The asymmetric reduction of ethyl γ-chloroacetoacetate catalyzed by chiral oxazaborolidines enantioselectively gave ethyl R-3-hydroxy-4-chlorobutyrate in good yield and enantioselectivity. In following two steps, such an ester was converted into L-carnitine hydrochloride in 68.3% overall yield with 94.6% ee and acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride in 62.6% overall yield with 96.8% ee. Some factors effecting the yield and the enantioselectivity of asymmetric reduction of ethyl γ-chloroacetoacetate were investigated.

Key words: acetyl-L-carnitine, chiral oxazaborolidine, asymmetric reduction, L-carnitine hydrochloride
