The present invention relates to a preparation method of tiotropium bromide of formula II, comprising the following steps: a) preparation of the scopine ester of formula I by transesterification of methyl di(2thienyl)glycolate of formula IV with scopine of formula III in the presence of a substoichiometric amount of a sterically hindered base selected from the group of alkali salts of branched C3 to C5 alkoxides in an inert solvent, b) isolation of the scopine ester of formula I, and c) quaternization of the scopine ester of formula I with methyl bromide.

The lipase-mediated kinetic resolution of racemic scopoline [(±)-4] and 6-hydroxytropinone [(±)-7] is reported. Whereas (±)-4 is difficult to resolve due to steric hindrance of the hydroxy function, the resolution of (±)-7 with vinyl acetate as acyl donor gave alcohol (+)-7 and the corresponding acetate (-)-9 with high enantiomeric excess. In case of the optimal result of 99% ee for (+)-7 and 80% ee for (-)-9, an E-value of 35 was calculated. The preparative lipase-catalyzed resolution of (±)-7 resulted in almost enantiopure alcohol (+)-7 with >99% ee after one recrystallization.
