The invention relates to a method for synthesizing (1R)-1-(2, 2-dimethyl-4H-1, 3-benzodioxin-6-yl)-2-nitroethanol, and the
route of the method is as follows: the (1R)-1-(2, 2-dimethyl-4H-1, 3-benzodioxin-6-yl)-2-nitroethanol synthesized by adopting the synthesis method is applied to preparation of (5R)-5-(2, 2-dimethyl-4H-1, 3-benzodioxin-6-yl)-1, 2, 4-
triazole-3-yl)-2-nitroethanol, and the (1R)-1-(2, 2-dimethyl-4H-1, 3-benzodioxin-6-yl)-2-nitroethanol is used as a
raw material. The method can be used for preparing 2, 3-
oxazolidine-2-
ketone, reaction steps can be shortened, and the method has the advantages of being high in reaction conversion number, high in
atom economy, suitable for industrial production and the like. Compared with the currently reported asymmetric Henry reaction synthesis
route, the method has the advantages that the price of the catalyst required by the synthesis
route is low, the
molar yield of the alpha-nitroketone reduction step is greater than 85%, and the method has the characteristics of high asymmetric selectivity and easiness in production.
