METHOD OF PREPARING HUPERZINE A AND DERIVATIVES THEREOF

摘要

The present invention is related to the synthesis of huperzine A. The synthesis includes a variety of process steps that increase productivity, reduce safety concerns, and allow for increasing production of compounds of desired optical isomer. The inventive methods may encompass a single improved reaction step that may be incorporated into a known reaction process for synthesizing huperzine A or a derivative thereof to improve the overall reaction. The inventive methods also encompass complete synthesis methods for preparing huperzine A or a derivative thereof.
