(−)-Sparteine sulfate is a stable salt of the quinolizidine chiral diamine alkaloid (−)-sparteine. This compound, in addition to presenting various biological activities, has successfully been used as a ligand and organocatalyst in enantioselective lithiation reactions in asymmetric synthesis. (−)-Sparteine free base deteriorates gradually, even in refrigeration, but its stable salt, (−)-sparteine sulfate, offers advantages in handling and storage. To the best of our knowledge, no process exists in the literature for obtaining (−)-sparteine sulfate from the species of the plant genus Lupinus. In this work, we present an efficient and sustainable process to obtain (−)-sparteine sulfate and free base (−)-sparteine from leaves and stems of Lupinus montanus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
