Description

  

      Verfahren    zur Herstellung von     a-Oxy-@,ss-dimethyl-r-butyrolacton.       Die Erfindung     betrifft    ein Verfahren zur  Herstellung von     a-Oxy-ss,ss-dimethyl-y-butyro-          la.eton.     



       Erfindungsgemäss    wird     a-Oxy-ss,ss-di-          methyl-y-butyrolacton    auf billigem Wege in       wirksamer    und bequemer Weise aus     a-Oxy-          ss,ss-dimethyl-y-oxy-butyronitril    erhalten.  



  Das<I>a</I> -     Oxy   <I>-</I>     ss,   <I>ss -</I>     dimethyl-y-butyrolacton     ist als     Zwischenprodukt        wertvoll,    und zwar       insbesondere    deshalb,     weil        es    mit     ss-Alanin     zur     Pantothensäure,    einer das Wachstum  fördernden Substanz, umgesetzt werden kann.  



       Bis        anhin    wurde das     a-Oxy-ss,ss-dimethyl-          y-butyrolacton    durch     Hydrolysieren    des sub  stituierten     Nitrils    in Gegenwart von Cal  ciumchlorid erhalten, indem auf diese Weise  das     Calciumsalz    der     a-Oxy-ss,f,

  dimethyl-y-          oxy-buttersäure    gebildet     wurde.    Das     Calcium       wurde hernach durch Zugabe von     Oxalsäure     als     Calciumoxalat        entfernt.        Oxals-äure    ist in  dessen teuer und     giftig    und für den wirt  schaftlichen Gebrauch     unerwünscht.    Diese  Methode ist ausserdem     langwierig    und um  ständlich, was ebenfalls nicht für dieses Ver  fahren spricht.  



  Gemäss     vorliegender        Erfindung    wird nun  das     a-Oxy-ss,ss-dimethyl-y-butyrolacton    da  durch erhalten, dass man     a-Oxy-ss,ss-dimethyl-          y-oxy-butyronitril        in    wässriger Lösung mit  einem     Alkalimetallcarbonat    erhitzt, wobei  das     Alkalimetallsalz    der     a-Oxy-ss,ss-dimethyl-          y-oxy-buttersäure    entsteht, und dass man  hierauf das     Reaktionsgemisch    zur Bildung  des     a-Oxy-ss,ss-dimethyl-y-butyrolaetons    an  säuert.  



  Diese Umsetzungen lassen sich durch  folgende Gleichungen darstellen:  
EMI0001.0052     
    Die     Erfindung    sei durch die folgenden  Beispiele erläutert, welche     besonders    zweck  mässige     Arbeitsweisen    betreffen.    <I>Beispiel<B>1.-</B></I>  1,54     Mol   <I>a</I> -     Oxy    -     ss,ss   <I>-</I>     dimethyl   <I>- y</I> -     oxy-          butyronitril    werden zu 1,16     Mol    Natrium-           carbonat    in     25%iger    Lösung     bei    65 C zu  gesetzt.

   Das Gemisch wird während 2 Stun  den auf     dieser    Temperatur gehalten, worauf  die Reaktion zu 97% beendet ist, wie durch       Silbernitrat-Titrierung        festgestellt    werden  kann. Hierauf wird die Temperatur auf  75 C erhöht und langsam     mit    2,78     Mol     Schwefelsäure versetzt.

   Man hält die     Tempe-          ratur    während 4 Stunden auf 80      C.    Hierauf  wird das     Reaktionsgemisch    durch Zugabe  von 180     cm@    einer 25%igen     Natriumhydro-          xydlösung    auf     einen        PH-Wert    von 3 bis 4       eingestellt    und gekühlt, wobei     Trennung    er  folgt.

       Die        obere    Schicht, welche das     Lacton     enthält, wird im     Vakuum    destilliert, wodurch  man das     a-Oxy-ss,ss-dimethyl-y-butyrolacton     in einer     Ausbeute    von 85,4% erhält.         Beispiel   <I>2:</I>  1,54     Mol        a-Oxy-ss,ss-dimethyl-y-oxy-          butyronitrü    werden zu 0,85     Mol        Natrium-          carbonat    in 25     %iger        Lösung    bei 65  C zu  gesetzt.

   Das     Gemisch    wird während 2 Stun  den auf dieser Temperatur belassen, worauf  die Umsetzung beendet ist. Nun wird die       Temperatur    auf 75  C erhöht und das Ge  misch langsam mit 2,04     Mol    Schwefelsäure  versetzt. Die     Temperatur    wird hierauf wäh  rend 4     Stunden    auf 80  C gehalten.

   Hernach       wird    das     Gemisch    durch Zugabe von 102     cm@          25%iger        Natriumhydroxyälösung    auf     einen          p1,-Wert    von 3 bis 4 gebracht, gekühlt und       zur    Trennung stehen     gelassen.    Die obere; das       Lacton    enthaltende Schicht     wird        im    Vakuum       destilliert,    wobei 184g     Lacton    anfällt, was       einer        Ausbeute    von<B>82,8%</B> entspricht.  



       Zur    Hydrolyse     des        a-Oxy-ss,ss-dimethyl-y-          oxy-butyronitrils        verwendet    man zweckmässig       Natriumcarbonat,    obzwar in gleicher     Weise     andere     Alkalimetallcarbonate,    wie beispiels  weise     galiumcarbonat,        Lithinmcarbonat    usw.,  zur Anwendung gelangen können. Das     Al-          kalicarbonat    wird zweckmässig in     Übersehuss       angewendet.

   Für die Durchführung der Hy  drolyse sind Temperaturen     zwischen    50 und  100' C     geeignet;    man     arbeitet    jedoch zweck  mässig bei     einer    Temperatur     zwischen    65 und  80  C. Ausser Schwefelsäure, welche zur       Lactonbildung    besonders geeignet ist, kann  z. B. auch     Salzsäure    verwendet werden.



      Process for the preparation of a-Oxy - @, ss-dimethyl-r-butyrolactone. The invention relates to a process for the production of a-oxy-ss, ss-dimethyl-y-butyro- la.eton.



       According to the invention, a-oxy-ss, ss-dimethyl-y-butyrolactone is obtained inexpensively in an effective and convenient manner from a-oxy-ss, ss-dimethyl-y-oxy-butyronitrile.



  The <I> a </I> - Oxy <I> - </I> ss, <I> ss - </I> dimethyl-y-butyrolactone is valuable as an intermediate, especially because it is linked to ss- Alanine can be converted to pantothenic acid, a substance that promotes growth.



       So far, the a-Oxy-ss, ss-dimethyl-y-butyrolactone was obtained by hydrolyzing the substituted nitrile in the presence of calcium chloride, in which the calcium salt of the a-Oxy-ss, f,

  dimethyl-y-oxy-butyric acid was formed. The calcium was then removed as calcium oxalate by adding oxalic acid. Oxalic acid is expensive and toxic and undesirable for economic use. This method is also tedious and cumbersome, which also does not speak in favor of this method.



  According to the present invention, the a-oxy-ss, ss-dimethyl-y-butyrolactone is obtained by heating a-oxy-ss, ss-dimethyl-y-oxy-butyronitrile in aqueous solution with an alkali metal carbonate, the The alkali metal salt of a-oxy-ss, ss-dimethyl-y-oxy-butyric acid is formed, and the reaction mixture is then acidified to form the a-oxy-ss, ss-dimethyl-y-butyrolaetone.



  These conversions can be represented by the following equations:
EMI0001.0052
    The invention is illustrated by the following examples, which relate to particularly useful working methods. <I>Example<B>1.-</B> </I> 1.54 mol <I> a </I> - Oxy - ss, ss <I> - </I> dimethyl <I> - y - Oxy-butyronitrile are added to 1.16 mol of sodium carbonate in 25% solution at 65 ° C.

   The mixture is kept at this temperature for 2 hours, after which the reaction is 97% complete, as can be determined by silver nitrate titration. The temperature is then increased to 75 ° C. and 2.78 mol of sulfuric acid are slowly added.

   The temperature is kept at 80 ° C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture is then adjusted to a pH value of 3 to 4 by adding 180 cm @ of a 25% strength sodium hydroxide solution and cooled, with separation.

       The upper layer, which contains the lactone, is distilled in vacuo, giving the α-oxy-ss, ss-dimethyl-γ-butyrolactone in a yield of 85.4%. Example <I> 2: </I> 1.54 mol of a-oxy-ss, ss-dimethyl-γ-oxy-butyronitru are added to 0.85 mol of sodium carbonate in 25% solution at 65.degree.

   The mixture is left at this temperature for 2 hours, after which the reaction has ended. The temperature is now increased to 75 ° C. and 2.04 mol of sulfuric acid are slowly added to the mixture. The temperature is then held at 80 ° C. for 4 hours.

   The mixture is then brought to a p1, value of 3 to 4 by adding 102 cm @ 25% strength sodium hydroxide solution, cooled and left to stand for separation. The upper; the layer containing lactone is distilled in vacuo, 184 g of lactone being obtained, which corresponds to a yield of 82.8%.



       Sodium carbonate is expediently used for hydrolysis of α-oxy-ss, ss-dimethyl-y-oxy-butyronitrile, although other alkali metal carbonates, such as, for example, galium carbonate, lithium carbonate, etc., can be used in the same way. The alkali carbonate is expediently used in excess.

   Temperatures between 50 and 100 'C are suitable for carrying out the hydrolysis; However, one works expediently at a temperature between 65 and 80 C. Besides sulfuric acid, which is particularly suitable for lactone formation, z. B. hydrochloric acid can also be used.
