A process for synthesis of R-(−)-N,α-Dimethylphenethylamine (Levmetamfetamine, formula I), or S-(+)-N,α-Dimethyl phenethylamine (Methamphetamine, formula II), from d-ephedrine of formula III or l-ephedrine formula IV, the process comprising the steps of (a) acylating the d- or l-ephedrine base of formula III or formula IV with an acylating agent to make a reaction mixture containing a N-acylated ephedrines of formula V or formula VI; (b) deoxygenation of N-acylated ephedrines to make the compound of the formula VII or Formula VIII by using Raney Nickel catalyst; and (c) acid hydrolysis of the above deoxygenated products to get the levmetamfetamine or methamphetamine.
一种从d-麻黄碱(式III)或l-麻黄碱(式IV)合成R-(-)-N,α-二甲基苯乙胺(左旋甲基苯丙胺,式I)或S-(+)-N,α-二甲基苯乙胺(甲基苯丙胺,式II)的方法,该方法包括以下步骤:(a)用酰化剂酰化式III或式IV的d-或l-麻黄碱基,制备含有式V或式VI的N-酰化麻黄碱的反应混合物;(b)使用Raney镍催化剂脱氧N-酰化麻黄碱,制备式VII或式VIII的化合物;(c)对上述脱氧产物进行酸水解,得到左旋甲基苯丙胺或甲基苯丙胺。
