The embodiment of the present application discloses a preparation method of nor-
tropine alcohol. The method comprises the following steps: performing
demethylation reaction on tropinone and chloroethyl
chloroformate in the presence of a
solvent, performing vacuum concentration and
evaporation, and obtaining demethyltropinone; performing reduction reaction on the demethyltropinone and
lithium tri-t-butoxyaluminum
hydride in the presence of a
solvent, and obtaining the nor-
tropine alcohol. The present application adopts a new type of
reducing agent lithium tri-t-butoxyaluminum
hydride, which is safe, not sensitive to air and water, and simple in post-treatment, thus avoiding safety hazards from the source. The present application avoids the use of dangerous
Raney nickel and does not need to use an
autoclave, so that the production capacity is greatly improved. The present application performs the reaction under low-temperature conditions, is low in
energy consumption, can effectively reduce production cost, and is moderate in
reaction conditions, safe and simple in operation, and is conducive to large-scale industrial production.
