(R)-(+)-Nicotine (1a) of high optical purity (average 99.6percent) has been obtained from (R,S)-nicotine by stereoselective microbial degradation of the (S)-(-)-nicotine with use of the microorganism Pseudomonas putida.Liquid culture results indicated that the organism growing on (S)-(-)-nicotine can utilize 1a but at a slower rate.Studies on related nicotinoids showed the microorganism to be primarily specific for (S)-(-)-nicotine.
The pyrolysis of (-)-(S)-nicotine: Racemization and decomposition
Clayton, Peter,Lu, Annhelen,Bishop, Louise
, p. 442 - 446 (2010)
The pyrolytic behaviour of (1)-(S)-nicotine in methanol was investigated using on-line pyrolysis GC/MS to establish whether racemization to the R(+) antipode occurs and to identify other products of pyrolysis. The conditions used included pyrolysing the sample for 15 seconds in an atmosphere of 9% oxygen in nitrogen (275ml/min total flow) across the temperature range of 200°C-1000°C. A chiral Cyclodex-B analytical column (30m × 0.25mm i.d. × 0.25 μm film thickness) was used to separate the enantiomers of nicotine, although the two enantiomer peaks were not baseline resolved. The results of the experiment shows that there is no increase in (+)-(R)-nicotine levels across a wide temperature range. This suggests that the elevated levels of (+)-R-nicotine observed in tobacco smoke (compared to tobacco leaf material) are not due to the pyrolytic auto-racemization of (1)-(S)-nicotine but are a result of more complex interactions between (-)-(S)-nicotine and other smoke components. The pyrolysis of isotopically labelled nicotine established that nicotine undergoes thermal decomposition to β-nicotyrine which in turn may decompose to other products. Chirality 22:442-446, 2010.

Paragraph 0061-0063; 0095-0097, (2020/06/20)
The invention discloses a preparation method of nicotine with optical activity, which comprises the following steps: adding a nitrogen-containing or phosphorus-containing chiral ligand and a metal catalyst into an organic solvent, preparing a catalyst, sequentially adding an imine salt and a reducing agent to carry out a reduction reaction, and adding an extracting agent to extract the nicotine compound. According to the preparation method disclosed by the invention, the imine salt derivative is used as a precursor, the initial raw material cost is low, the reaction conditions are mild (for example, catalysis and reduction reactions occur in a temperature range near normal temperature), the catalyst and the reducing agent are common chemical substances, the synthesis yield and the chemicalpurity of the final product nicotine are high, and large-scale industrial production is convenient to realize.

, (2019/07/13)
The present invention relates to a method of preparing racemic nicotine comprising: (i) reacting ethyl nicotinate and N-vinylpyrrolidone in the presence of an alcoholate base to 3-nicotinoyl-1-vinylpyrrolidin-2-one; (ii) reacting the 3-nicotinoyl-1-vinylpyrrolidin-2-one with an acid to myosmine; (iii) reducing the myosmine to nornicotine using a reducing agent; and (iv) methylating the nornicotine to obtain the racemic nicotine.
