Paragraph 0078-0093, (2019/11/12)
The invention discloses a preparation method for synthesizing L-carnitine by using R-(-)-epichlorohydrin as a starting material, and belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry. The method comprises the steps: using R-(-)-epoxychlorohydrin and hydrocyanic acid as starting materials, performing a reaction for synthesis of R-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyronitrile under the action of a basic catalyst, thensynthesizing L-carnitine hydrochloride through two routes, purifying the L-carnitine hydrochloride prepared through the two routes further through resin so as to remove chloride ions, and preparing the final product L-carnitine. The two process routes are simple, the reaction conditions are mild, the operation is simple and feasible, and industrial production is convenient; the whole process is green and environmentally friendly, the reaction yield is high, three waste is little, no sodium cyanide is used, and no solid waste sodium salt is generated; and the hydrolysis by-product ammonium chloride has good quality, and can be sold as a by-product, and great economic benefits and market competitiveness are achieved.
Novel method for preparing L-carnitine

Paragraph 0019; 0020; 0021, (2017/08/27)
The invention discloses a novel method for preparing L-carnitine and belongs to the technical field of medication chemistry. The method disclosed by the invention comprises the following steps: reacting quinine I and trimethylchlorosilane, thereby obtaining a quinine derivative II; reacting the quinine derivative II with racemic epoxy chloropropane, thereby obtaining quinine derivative quaternary ammonium salt III; reacting the quinine derivative quaternary ammonium salt III with a cyanide inorganic salt, and performing chiral ring opening to generate (R)-2-hydroxynitrile quaternary ammonium salt IV; carrying out an ion exchange reaction between the (R)-2-hydroxynitrile quaternary ammonium salt IV and trimethylamine, thereby obtaining (R)-2-hydroxynitrile trimethylamine salt, performing acidic hydrolysis, and performing ion exchange desalination, thereby obtaining the L-carnitine. The method provided by the invention is simple and feasible, the yield is greatly improved, and residues of heavy metal ions are avoided.

As a by-product originating from Salen Co(III) catalysed hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of (±)-epichlorohydrin in the manufacturing procedure of L-Carnitine, (R)-3-chloro-1,2-propanediol was utilised as a starting chiral material to prepare via key nitrile intermediates and by a final hydrolysis L-Carnitine. The new synthetic approach demonstrated an efficient utilisation of the by-product.
