  • Patent number: 11981653
    Abstract: The present application discloses a synthesis method of chiral nicotine from nicotinate and ?-butyrolactone, including the following steps: Step S1: performing condensation under an alkaline condition, and performing ring opening reaction with hydrochloric acid; Step S2: reacting with (+)—B-diisopinocampheyl chloroborane to produce a chiral hydroxyl group; Step S3: performing a chlorination reaction; and Step S4: performing cyclization under an alkaline condition to obtain the chiral nicotine. In the present application, nicotinate and ?-butyrolactone, both cheap and readily available, are used as raw materials, so as to reduce the production cost of (S)-nicotine. (+)—B-diisopinocampheyl chloroborane is used to reduce a carbonyl group of an intermediate to obtain a target chiral center.
