Abstract

Enzymatic resolution of racemic 3‐hydroxy‐4‐(tosyloxy)butanenitrile ((±)‐5) by using various lipases in different solvents were studied. The obtained optically pure (3__R__)‐3‐(acetyloxy)‐4‐(tosyloxy)butanenitrile ((R)‐6), upon treatment with aqueous ammonia followed by conc. HCl solution, provided (R)‐GABOB (=(3__R__)‐4‐amino‐3‐hydroxybutanoic acid; (R)‐1). Similarly, reaction of (R)‐6 with aqueous trimethylamine solution followed by conc. HCl solution provided (R)‐carnitine hydrochloride (=(2__R__)‐3‐carboxy‐2‐hydroxy‐N,N,N‐trimethylpropan‐1‐aminium chloride; (R)‐2⋅HCl) in an expeditious manner.
