摘要

The present invention provides a method for preparing levobunolol hydrochloride. In the present invention S-1-tert-butyl-epoxy methylamine is subjected to a substitution reaction with 5-hydroxy-1-tetralone, and acidified to obtain the target product levobunolol hydrochloride. The method provided by the present invention greatly improves the regioselectivity of the reaction, avoids the occurrence of side reactions, and effectively improves the yield and optical purity of levobunolol hydrochloride, with the yield being 87.3%, and the ee value being over 99%.
