The invention discloses a method for preparing carbon
isotope labeled
levodopa through asymmetric synthesis. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out
nucleophilic addition reaction on carbon
isotope labeled CO2 and an
aryl nucleophilic
reagent to obtain carbon
isotope labeled pepper acid; carrying out reduction and bromination reaction on piperic acid to synthesize a carbon isotope labeled
aryl bromide fragment; the
aryl bromide fragment and a
chiral auxiliary Schiff base fragment are connected through an asymmetric
alkylation reaction, and the carbon isotope labeled
levodopa is obtained by removing an auxiliary and a
protecting group from a connection product. According to the method, cheap and easily available raw materials are adopted, the cost is low, the yield is high, and the chiral center stereo enantioselectivity is high; according to the method, the L-DOPA can be accurately and stably labeled at the
levodopa 3 site at a fixed point, the
metabolic stability of the carbon isotope labeled L-DOPA is improved, the asymmetric synthesis of the carbon isotope labeled L-DOPA at the levodopa 3 site is completed for the first time, and a material support is provided for
metabolism research related to the levodopa.
