The invention discloses an efficient synthesis method of
ephedrine hydrochloride, and belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical
chemistry synthesizing.A self-synthesized chiral
zinc oxide nanoflower composite catalyst is added in the synthesis process of the
ephedrine hydrochloride, and the composite catalyst has a chiral function, is large in pore and surface area, easy to recover and not prone to blockage, and can be used for preparing a chiral
zinc oxide nanoflower catalyst. Compared with a traditional Lewis acid type catalyst, the catalyst has the advantages that keto groups in
ephedrine hydrochloride synthesis can be precisely reduced, and hexadecyl trimethyl
ammonium bromide is intercalated on the surface, so that the catalyst is not easy to
agglomerate in a catalytic
system, and the yield of a product is further improved; according to the composite catalyst, through hexadecyl trimethyl
ammonium bromide, the surface hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the composite catalyst are regulated and controlled, the composite catalyst is dispersed more uniformly and makes contact with a compound II more sufficiently, the speed and selectivity of a
reductive amination reaction are improved, and the hexadecyl trimethyl
ammonium bromide can intercalate
mica lamellas, so that the
mica lamellas are peeled off, the interlayer spacing is increased, and therefore the composite catalyst is more stable in performance. And the reaction sites are increased, so that the catalytic
active center is loaded more stably.
