SYNTHESIS OF (R) AND (S)-AMINOCARNITINE AND DERIVATIVES THEREOF FROM D-AND L-ASPARTIC ACID

摘要

R or S aminocarnitine, R or S phosphonium aminocarnitine and R and S 3,4 diaminobutanoic acid, and their derivatives are prepared usingstarting from aspartic acid with the same configuration as the desired compounds. This process is advantageous from the industrial point of view in terms of the type of reactants used, the reduced volumes of solvents and the possibility of avoiding purification of the intermediate products.
