Description

  

  Verfahren     zur    Herstellung eines niederen     Carbonsäureesters    des     Tocopherols.            d,1-Tocopherole    (synthetisches Vitamin E)  können durch Kondensation von     Trimethyl-.          hydrochinon    oder     Dimethylhydrochinonen     mit     Phytol    oder     Phytylhalogeniden    darge  stellt werden. Diese     Tocopherole    werden bei  Einwirkung von Sauerstoff von Feuchtig  keit und von Licht allmählich zerstört. Durch       Veresterung    werden sie haltbar.  



  Es wurde nun     gefunden,    dass niedere     Car-          bonsäureester    der     d,1-Tocopherole    dadurch  gewonnen werden können, dass die Konden  sationsprodukte von     Trimethylhydrochinon     oder     Dimethylhydrochinonen    mit     Phytol     oder     Phytylhalogeniden    ohne vorhergehende  Reinigung mit den niederen     Carbonsäuren     verestert und die entstehenden Ester in üb  licher Weise gereinigt werden. Vorteilhafter  weise erfolgt die Reinigung durch Destilla  tion im Hochvakuum. Das Verfahren liefert  auf kurzem und schonendem Wege sehr gute  Ausbeuten.  



  Gegenstand des vorliegenden Patentes ist    ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines niederen       Carbonsäureesters    des     Tocopherols,    welches  dadurch     gekennzeichnet    ist, dass man das rohe  Kondensationsprodukt von     Trimethylhydro-          chinon    und     Phytylbromid    mit     einem        Ben-          zoylierungsmittel    behandelt und den entste  henden Ester reinigt. Mit     Vorteil    wird der  Ester durch     Destillation    im     Hochvakuum    auf  gearbeitet.  



  Der bisher     unbekannte        Benzoesäureester     des     d,1-a-Tocopherols    ist     ein    hellgelbes, zäh  flüssiges 01, welches bei 0,1 mm     Druck    bei  255   siedet; der     Brechungsexponent        n"'     beträgt 1,5243. Er ist beständig und redu  ziert     in        methylalkoholischer    Lösung Silber  nitrat nicht und     Tollens        Reagens    nur all  mählich. Durch     Verseifung,    z.

   B. mit     methyl-          alkoholischer    Kalilauge unter     Luftabschluss,     kann das freie     Tocopherol    leicht zurückge  wonnen werden. Der     Benzoesäureester    des       d,1-a-Tocopherols    soll als Arzneimittel ver  wendet werden.      <I>Beispiel:</I>       Man    erhitzt ein Gemisch von 7,5 Teilen  des aus     Phytylbromid    und     Trimethylhydro-          chinon    erhaltenen Kondensationsproduktes  mit 6 Teilen     Benzoesäureanhydrid    und 20  Teilen     Pyridin    2 Stunden im Ölbad zum  Kochen.

   Nach Entfernen des     Pyridins    destil  liert man den Rückstand im Hochvakuum.  Der     Benzoylester    des     d,1-a-Tocopherols    destil  liert bei 255   bei 0,1 mm.



  Process for the preparation of a lower carboxylic acid ester of tocopherol. d, 1-tocopherols (synthetic vitamin E) can be obtained by condensation of trimethyl-. hydroquinone or dimethylhydroquinones with phytol or phytyl halides are Darge. These tocopherols are gradually destroyed by the action of oxygen by moisture and light. Esterification makes them durable.



  It has now been found that lower carboxylic acid esters of d, 1-tocopherols can be obtained by esterifying the condensation products of trimethylhydroquinone or dimethylhydroquinones with phytol or phytyl halides without prior purification with the lower carboxylic acids and purifying the resulting esters in the usual way will. Purification is advantageously carried out by distillation in a high vacuum. The process gives very good yields in a short and gentle way.



  The subject of the present patent is a process for the production of a lower carboxylic acid ester of tocopherol, which is characterized in that the crude condensation product of trimethylhydroquinone and phytyl bromide is treated with a benzoylating agent and the resulting ester is purified. The ester is advantageously worked up by distillation in a high vacuum.



  The previously unknown benzoic acid ester of d, 1-a-tocopherol is a light yellow, viscous liquid oil which boils at 255 at 0.1 mm pressure; the refraction exponent n "'is 1.5243. It is stable and does not reduce silver nitrate in a methyl alcoholic solution and only gradually reduces Tollen's reagent.

   B. with methyl alcoholic potassium hydroxide in the absence of air, the free tocopherol can easily be recovered. The benzoic acid ester of d, 1-a-tocopherol is said to be used as a medicinal product. <I> Example: </I> A mixture of 7.5 parts of the condensation product obtained from phytyl bromide and trimethylhydroquinone with 6 parts of benzoic anhydride and 20 parts of pyridine is heated to boiling in an oil bath for 2 hours.

   After removing the pyridine, the residue is distilled in a high vacuum. The benzoyl ester of d, 1-a-tocopherol distilled at 255 at 0.1 mm.
