Description

1~347~

The present invention relates to a process for producing carboxy-alkane-amino-alkane diphosphonic acids and carboxy-alkane-aminoaryl-alkane diphosphonic acid having the general formula R - C - NR - CnR H2n lCH

wherein Rl is H, CH3, C2H5, C6Hll, C6~50rHOOCCmH2mwheremis2-5, R iS H~ CH3~ C2H5' C6H5~ CH2COOHorC2H4COOH, R isH, CH3, C2H5, - -CH~
-CH2C6H5, -C2H45CH3, -CH2COOH or -C2H4COOH, or R + R3 iS CH2 or Rl + R2 is CmH2mCO- where m is 2-5 and n is 1-4.
A ~J CC~a~r ~ -methane-aminoalkane phosphonic and carboxy-methane-aminoaryl-alkane phosphonic acids are disclosed in German Patent No, 2,318,416. The alkali metal salts of these phosphonic acids are obtained by reacting the aminoalkane phosphonic acids and aminoaryl-alkane phosphonic acids with formaldehyde and an alkali metal cyanide in an alkaline medium. A disadvantage of this process is that extensive safety precautions are required when operating with alkali metal cyanides. Moreover, this pro-cess is limited to the production of carboxy-methane derivatives while higher homologues cannot be obtained in this manner.
It has now been found that said carboxylated diphos-phonic acids can be produced in a simple manner when acyl-amino-carboxylic acids or their anhydrides having the general formula o R -C-NR -CnR H2n lCOOH
wherein Rl, R2, R3 and n have the same meaning as hereinbefore, are reacted with pyrosphorous acid or phosphorous acid and phos-phorus trichloride in the molar ratio of 5:1 to 1:2 at elevatedtemperature.
~nhydride derivatives of the carbo~y-alkane-amilloalkane l~i3475 phosphonic acids which form during the reaction can be hydrolyzed to the free carboxy-phosphonic acids in a simple manner.
Instead of pyrophorous acid, phosphorous acid and phos-phorus trichloride can also be used in a molar ratio similar to that required for the formation of pyrophosphorous acid.
This manner of carrying out the reaction is all the - more surprising since it is known that in the reaction with phos-phorous acid and phosphorus trichloride the carboxylic acids and - their anhydrides readily react to form l-hydroxy-alkane-l,l-diphosphonic acids as is evident from Z. anorg. allg. Chem. 381, 247 (1971). This also applies to ~-aminopropionic acid (see laid-open German Specification 2,130,794). However, under similar con-ditions for the reaction aminoacetic acid and imino diacetic acid undergo decomposition so that the corresponding phosphonic acids are formed only in small amounts. However, in the case of the acyl-aminocarboxylic acids the phosphonylation occurs on the amide group, but not, as expected, on the carboxylic acid group.
According to the invention either the anhydrides of the acyl-aminocarboxylic acid are reacted with pyrophosphorous acid or the acyl-aminocarboxylic acid itself is reacted with phosphorous acid and PC13 in the corresponding molar ratio with or without solvents at temperatures between 50 and 100~C. One mole of pyro-phosphorous acid is used per acyl-amino group.
Since pyrophosphorous acid is in any case obtained from phosphorous trichloride and phosphorous acid, the dehydrating effect of the PC13 can be utilized for the formation of the anhydrides of acyl-aminocarboxylic acids during the reaction.
Thus, it is not absolutely necessary to use the anhydrides of the acyl-aminocarboxylic acids as the starting material. In order to simplify the process, acyl-aminocarboxylic acids can also be reacted directly with a mixture of phosphorous acid and phosphol-us trichloride. Howeverl the proportion of phosphorus trichloride ~ 347~
which must be used is higher than that required for obtaining pyrophosphorous acid. It is advantageous to use 1.5 times to twice the amount.
Acyl-aminocarboxylic acids are compounds which can be easily obtained from aminocarboxylic acids by reaction with car-boxylic anhydrides. Acetyl-amino acids can also be obtained by addition of ketene to amino acids. For the production of the formyl derivatives the reaction of aminocarboxylic acids with formic acid in the presence of acetanhydride is used. Benzoyl derivatives, for example, hippuric acid or ornithuric acid, are obtained from aminocarboxylic acid and benzoyl chloride by means of the Schotten-Baumann reaction.
N-carboxy-acyl-aminocarboxylic acidswhich areparticularly suitable for the reactionwith phosphorousacid and phosphorus tri-chloride or pyrophosphorous acid are derived from the followinc3 amino acids: glycine, sarcosine, phenyl glycine, ~- and ~-alanine, phenyl alanine, ~- and ~-aminobutyric acid, lysine, ornithine, methionine, proline, imino-diacetic acid, imino-dipropionic acid, aspartic acid and glutamic acid.
Acyl-aminocarboxylic acids and their anhydrides, which are used for the reaction, preferably contain formyl, acetyl, chloro-acetyl, phenyl-acetyl, propionyl, succinyl, cyclohexanoyl and benzoyl radicals as the acyl group.
The carboxy-alkane-aminoalkane diphosphonic acids and carboxy-alkane amino-aryl-alkane diphosphonic acids and their alkali salts which are obtained by neutralizing the free acid with alkali liquor are readily water-soluble. Their solubility is substantially higher than that o~ the aminophosphonic acids from which .hey are derived. They are distinguished as good com-plexing agents for metal cations such as calcium,magnesium, iron, copper and manganese.
Since they are resistant to hydrolysis cven ~t tClnpCra-_ 3 1~1347~

tures above 100C, they can also be used with advantage in cases in which polyphosphates cannot beused because of the hydrolysis.
The present invention will be further illustrated by way of the following Examples.
Example l 58.3 g of N-acetyl glycine are suspended in 250 ml of dimethyl diglycol and 62 g of phosphorous acid are added, where-upon 45 ml of phosphorus trichloride are added dropwise while stirring vigorously. After the addition of the phosphorous tri-chloride the mixture is heated to 70-80C and maintained at this temperature for three hours while stirring, whereupon 150 ml of H2O are added, followed by boiling for 15 minutes. The mixture is then evaporated to dryness in a water-jet vacuum, taken up with 50 ml of water and mixed with 200 ml of isopropanol while a white precipitate consisting substantially of N-carboxy-methane-aminoethane diphosphonic acid is deposited.
Yield: 119.5 g For the purification a portion of the precipitate is dissolved in water and treated with an intensely acid cation exchanger. The solution is then concentrated and the acid is precipitated with i-propanol.

and maintained at this temperature for 3 to 4 hours, whereupon the mixture is cooled and 120 ml of water are added. The mixture is then boiled for a short time and concentrated by evaporation in the vacuum of a water-jet pump. 140 g of a residue having a 1~1347;~
slightly yellow colour are obtained. This residue contains pri-marily N-carboxy-methane-aminoethane-l,l-diphosphonic acid in addition to a small amount of 2-amino-1-hydroxy-ethane-1,1-di-phosphonic acid~

Example 3 /
-29~ 5 g of glutamic acid are gradually added to 60 ml of 1~ acetanhydride containing 0.4 g of p-toluene sulphonic acid while - stirring. The mixture is then held at a temperature of 100 to 110C for one hour. Acetic acid formed and excess acetanhydride are distilled off in the vacuum of a water-jet pump. The viscous oil obtained as the residue is dissolved in 50 ml of dimethyl di-glycol ether, whereupon 80 g of phosphorus trichloride are added.
Next, a solution of 20 g of phosphorous acid in 30 ml of dimethyl diglycol ether is added dropwise while stirring vigorously.
While stirring is continued the temperature is increased to 90-95C and this temperature is maintained for 3 to 4 hours. This is followed by heating with 50 ml of water for 30 minutes. The solvent is then distilled off in vacuo and the reaction product is precipitated by taking it up in alcohol.
Example 4 35 ml of phosphorus trichloride and 52 g OL N-acetyl-3-aminopropionic acid are added to 32 g of phosphorous acid while excluding the moisture. The components are mixed with the aid of a slowly rotating stirrer. The mixture is then heated for 4 hours to 80C, whereupon 100 ml of water are added. The mixture is then boiled with reflux for 1 to 2 hours and the N-carboxy-ethane-l-aminoethane-l,l-diphosphonic acid containing a small amount of ~-alanine as an inpurity is precipitated and dried.

Example 5 40 g of hippuric acid are dissolved with 18 g of phos-phorous acid and 25 ml of PC13 in 150 ml of tetramethylene sul-phone and kept at a temperature of 80C for 3 to 4 hours, where-upon 50 ml of E~2O are added. The mixture is then heated for 1 hour to a temperature of 100 to 110C and freed from most of the water in vacuo while a portion of the N-carboxy-methane-phenyl-amino-methane diphosphonic acid precipitates. The precipitation is completed by adding isopropanol. The precipitate is filtered off and washed with isopropanol several times in order to free the crystallizate from adhering sulphone.

After increasing the temperature to 70C this temperature is maintained for four hours. The mixture is then hydrolized while adding 50 ml of water. After evaporating the solvent in vacuo the mixture is again taken up in 50 ml of water and mixed with 150 ml of ethanol. After drying the difficultly soluble residue its weight was 73.5 g.
