  Verfahren zur Herstellung von     l-Ascorbinsäure        (C-Vitamin).       Die physiologisch wichtige     1-Ascorbin-          säure    ist vor kurzem synthetisch aus     l-Xylo-          son    (=     l-Lygoson)    durch     Einwirkung    von  Blausäure und nachträgliche saure Versei  fung bereitet worden.

   Sie hat sich     mit    den  in der Natur     aufgefundenen        Körpern    als       identisceh    und auch     biologi & oh    als wirksames       C-Vitamin    erwiesen     (Helv.        Chim.    Acta 16,  1933,     s.1019).     



  Dieses erste Verfahren hat den Vorteil  eines sehr allgemeinen Anwendungsberei  ches; es hat bisher in allen     untersuchten    Fäl  len die entsprechenden     3-getosäuren,        bezw.     ihre     Anhydride    ergeben. Für die spezielle  Bereitung der     1-Ascorbinsäure    hat es da  gegen den Nachteil,     dass    das nötige Aus  gangsmaterial, das     l-Xyloson,    nur sehr  schwierig und auf kostspieligem Wege zu  beschaffen ist. Auf der Suche nach     einer     technisch besser brauchbaren Methode wurde  ein weiterer Weg aufgefunden.

   Nach diesem  Verfahren wird     1-Ascorbinsäure    dadurch ge  wonnen, dass     2-Keto-l-gulonsäure    gegebenen  falls nach vorheriger     Veresterung    zunächst    mit zur     Enolisierung    geeigneten alkalischen  Mitteln, dann     mit    starken Säuren     behandelt     wird (siehe Patent Nr. 174208).  



  Statt durch alkalische Mittel kann die  Umlagerung der     2-Keto-l-gulonsäure    oder  ihrer mit Säure leicht spaltbaren Derivate  auch durch Erwärmung bei saurer     Reaktion     erfolgen (siehe Patent Nr. 180810 und Zu  sätze). Dabei     wird    die     Erwärmung    der     2-          Keto-l-gulonsäure    oder ihrer mit Säure leicht  spaltbaren Derivate zum Beispiel in wäs  seriger oder alkoholischer Lösung durchge  führt.  



  Es wurde nun gefunden, dass sich die  Umlagerung der     2-Keto-l-gulonsäureester    be  sonders vorteilhaft gestaltet,     wenn    sie durch  Erwärmung bei saurer Reaktion in Gegen  wart von indifferenten     Verdünnungsmitteln,     wie z. B. Chloroform,     Diogan,    vorgenommen       wird.     



  <I>Beispiel:</I>  35 g     2-Keto-l-gulonsäuremethylester    wer  den in     einem    Gemisch von 80 cm' Chloro  form und 20 cm' 15 %     iger    alkoholischer iSalz-      säure 70     Stunden    unter Rühren am Rück  flusskühler gekocht.     Dann    wird     abfiltriert     und mit einem Gemisch von Chloroform     und     Alkohol gewaschen. Es werden 20,5 g     1-As-          corbinsäure    erhalten, die bei der     Titration     mit Jod einen Reinheitsgrad von     97,3/o     zeigen.



  Process for the production of l-ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The physiologically important 1-ascorbic acid was recently prepared synthetically from l-xylosone (= l-lygosone) through the action of hydrocyanic acid and subsequent acidic saponification.

   It has proven to be identical with the bodies found in nature and also biologically as an effective C vitamin (Helv. Chim. Acta 16, 1933, p.1019).



  This first method has the advantage of being very general in scope; so far it has len the corresponding 3-geto acids, respectively. their anhydrides result. For the special preparation of 1-ascorbic acid it has the disadvantage that the necessary starting material, the l-xyloson, is very difficult and expensive to obtain. In the search for a technically more useful method, another way was found.

   According to this process, 1-ascorbic acid is obtained by treating 2-keto-l-gulonic acid, optionally after esterification, first with alkaline agents suitable for enolization and then with strong acids (see patent no. 174208).



  Instead of using alkaline agents, the rearrangement of 2-keto-l-gulonic acid or its derivatives, which are easily cleaved with acid, can also be carried out by heating with an acidic reaction (see patent no. 180810 and additives). The heating of the 2-keto-l-gulonic acid or its derivatives, which can be easily cleaved with acid, is carried out, for example, in aqueous or alcoholic solution.



  It has now been found that the rearrangement of the 2-keto-l-gulonic acid esters is particularly advantageous when it is heated in an acidic reaction in the presence of inert diluents such as. B. Chloroform, Diogan is made.



  <I> Example: </I> 35 g of methyl 2-keto-l-gulonate are boiled in a mixture of 80 cm of chloroform and 20 cm of 15% alcoholic hydrochloric acid for 70 hours on the reflux condenser while stirring. It is then filtered off and washed with a mixture of chloroform and alcohol. 20.5 g of 1-ascorbic acid are obtained which, when titrated with iodine, show a degree of purity of 97.3%.
