Abstract

The synthesis of (R)- and (S)-atenolol (1) was achieved in two steps starting from p-hydroxyphenylacetamide (2). Both enantiomers of the glycidyl ether 4 were synthesized from 2 and (R)- and (S)-epichlorohydrin (3) using an alkali metal hydroxide and/or BTA (benzyltrimethylammonium chloride), respectively. Subsequent treatment of 4 with isopropylamine afforded atenolol (1) with excellent enantiomeric excess (>98% ee).
