Abstract

The invention provides a micro-reaction continuous flow synthesis method of levocarnitine. An existing preparation method has the defects of complicated operation, long reaction time, low yield and the like. According to the method, (R)-4-halogenated-3-hydroxybutyrate and trimethylamine are continuously subjected to quaternization and hydrolysis reaction in a micro-channel reactor in the presenceof an alkali to prepare the levocarnitine. The reaction time of the method is only several minutes, the yield is high, the technological process is easy and convenient to operate, and industrial production is easy.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the synthesis of levocarnitine (I), in particular to a micro-reaction continuous flow synthesis method of levocarnitine. [0002] Background technique [0003] L-Carnitine (I), also known as L-carnitine, vitamin B T , is a key transmitter in the process of fat metabolism, and its main function is to promote the oxidative decomposition of fatty acids into the mitochondria to provide energy for cells. It is widely used, and can be used for carnitine deficiency, treatment of various ischemic heart diseases, liver diseases, kidney diseases and muscle movement disorders, etc., and can also be used as food additives and feed additives. WO 2007 / 139238, US 4895979, EP 0339764, and JP 1989211551 all describe the quaternization of (R)-4-halo-3-hydroxybutyrate and 27-30% trimethylamine aqueous solution in the aqueous phase, and then The method for preparing (I) by hydrochloric acid hydrolysis. Although the reaction time of t...
