The invention relates to an asymmetric hydrogen transfer synthesis method for (R,R)-formoterol, and relates to a novel method for synthesizing an optical pure beta 2-adrenoreceptor excitant, namely formoterol. The method comprises: firstly, taking 4-hydroxyl-3 nitroacetophenone as a raw material, using benzyl groups to protect phenolic hydroxyl groups, and obtaining alpha-bromo keto after bromination; secondly, taking (S,S)-Rh-PEG-BsDPEN as a catalyst and formic acid and derivatives of the formic acid as hydrogen sources, and synthesizing chiral alcohol intermediate by an asymmetric hydrogen transfer method; thirdly, using (R)-alpha-methyl phenylethylamine and methoxyl phenylacetone to generate imine compounds, and obtaining chiral amine intermediate through hydrogenation reduction under the catalysis of Pt / C; and fourthly, reacting and coupling the chiral alcohol intermediate and the chiral amine intermediate, removing protective groups, and obtaining the (R,R)-formoterol. The invention uses the asymmetric hydrogen transfer method and a chiral auxiliary reagent to synthesize the (R,R)-formoterol, and has high yield and good ee value.
