Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A process is disclosed for the production of thio-tetronic acid, in which 4-chloro-4-chloromethyloxetan-2-one is reacted directly with hydrogen sulfide in the presence of an amine to produce thiotetronic acid. Alternatively, the reaction mixture is converted prior to isolation of the thiotetronic acid with ketene and the conversion product is converted with a mineral acid in order to obtain the thiotetronic acid.

Description

The invention relates-to a process for the production of thiotetronic acid.
It has been reported that thiotetronic acid m~y posess utility as an intermedlate product Eor the production of l~) thiolact~cin, whLch is an c~ntibiotic having a broad effective spectnm. T rahedron Letters, Vol. 25, No. 46, pp 5243-to 5246, (1984). From senary~ Chem.
Berichte 46, 2103, (1913)j it is known to produce thiotetronic acid star-ting from acetyl thioglycoyl chloride through reac-tion thereof wlth sodium malonlc ester and subsequent ring closure and water treatment. D.B. Macierewicz, Rocz. Chem.
47, 1735, (1973), reproduced the reaction of E. Benary and ob-tained thiotetronic acid in a yield of 30.3 percent, based on the ace-tyl-thioglycoyl chloride used. Another possibility ~ for synthesis is set out in J.Z.: Mortensen et al., Tetrahedron .~ 15 Letters) 27, 3839 (1971~. Starting from 2,4-dibromothiophene, the thiotetronic acid i5 obtained in a yield of 46.2 percent by way of three s-teps as a result of reaction with bu-tyl .~ lithium and t-butylperbenzoate.
~; However, in the case of all of the above-identified ~ 20 traditional syntheses, the yields are much too low for a technical or commercial process. Moreover, the processes are characterized by cumbersomeness, expensive educts and ~ by reagents that are difficult to handle.
: An object of the invention is to provide a process for the production of thiotetronic acid which is distinguished by high yields and high purity of thiotetronic acid, favorable educts and simple procedural steps.
~ccordingly, the invention provides a process t~ -~<1 , ' 1~ 64~7~

Another aspect of the invention comprises the novel in-termediate product diacetoxythiophene, having the formuIa: CH3-C~

-;~ 15 The 4-chloro-4-chloromethyloxe-tan-2-one starting material can be produced in a simple manner according to published European Patent Application 60~808 and after flash distillation can be used for the conversion according to the invention.
The hydrogen sulfide is conveniently used in gaseous .
form.
; As suitable amines, advantageously primary, secondary or tertiary amines, ammonia and also guanidine can be used.

Tertiary amines, such as triethylamine, are particularly advantageous.

The reaction is conveniently carried out in a solvent or solvents. As compared to the reactive educt, ~,' i4~2 inert solvents such as halogenated hydrocarbons, ether or carboxylic acid esters are used. For example, methylene chloride, chloroform, ethereal solvents, such ac, tetra-hydrofuran, and also acetic acid ester can be used. ParticuS larly preferred, ~lowever, as the solvent is tetrahydrofuran.
The educts are used effectively in a mole ratio of 4-chloro-4-chloromethyloxetan-2-one -to hydrogen sulfide to amine of from 1~ 2 to 1:4:3, and preferably between 2.5:2 and 1-3.5:2.5.
Preferably the reaction lS operated at a temperature of from 0 to -~0C., m~re preferably between -10 and -25C.
Effectively, the method proceeds in such a way that the educt solution is saturated with the hydrogen sulfide and the amine is added subsequently over a period of 30 to 120 minutes.
After complete addition of the amine, the processing of the -thiotetronic acid can take place by filtering off the precipitated salt and ~ubsequently concentrating the solu-tion. For the separation of small quan-tities of dimeric anhydrothiotetronic acid, the residue can be absorbed in ethereal solvents, such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dioxane, preferably in diethyl ether, and can be filtered by way of an absorption agent, such as silica gel.
After renewed concentration by evaporation of the solvent, the thiotetronic acid is ob-tained in crys-talline form and in good yield.
After recrystallization in an aromatic hydrocarbon, i , \

preferably in toluene, the thiotetronic acid is subjected -to additional purification.
In order to obtain a -thio-te-tronic acid of good quality, -the method can proceed in such a way that, af-ter the addi-tion of the amine, wi-thout isolation of the crude thiotetronic acid, the lat-ter is -treat~d in solution with ketene at a temperature of -lO to +5C., advantageously 0C. Based on one mole of 4-chloro-4-chloromethyloxe-tan-2-one used, ketene is effectively used in a quantity of 2 to 4 moles, preferably 2.5 to 3.5 moles.
; In the course of the process according to the invention, the novel intermediate compound 2,4-diacetoxy-thiophene having the formula: RO

wherein each R is CH3C-, results. The 2,4-diacetoxythiophene can also be purified by distil1ation in a simple manner.

By treatlng the 2,4-diacetoxythiophene with a non-oxidizing inorganic mineral acidr pure thiotetronic acid is obtained. Hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, preferably hydrochloric acid, can be used in aqueous solu-tion in a concentration of lO to 30 percent. The conversion temperature is generally between 0 ana 30C., preferably ; 25 15 to 25C. The reaction time can be 2 to 5 hours.
After concentration, preferably using high vacuum, this procedure provides practically colorless thiotetronio ;~;
