Abstract
The Vitamin E activity of b -tocopherol is increased by chloromethylating it in a tocopherolcontaining phase, the hydrogen chloride normality of which is from 0.8 N to 1.0 N, and reducing the chloromethylated product. The chloromethylation may be effected by means of formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde or dimethyl formal in conjunction with the hydrogen chloride, or by means of chloromethyl ether. The desired hydrogen chloride normality during this step is advantageously achieved by treating the b -tocopherol in a non-aqueous organic solvent phase in contact with an aqueous acid phase, the total hydrogen chloride normality in the mixed phases being adjusted to 4-5 N, e.g. by passing in gaseous hydrogen chloride. The reduction step may be effected by hydrogenation in the presence of Raney nickel at moderate pressures or by adding zinc dust to the acidic reaction mixture. The process is applicable especially to the treatment of compositions containing at least 50 per cent of b -tocopherol, e.g. the product obtained from a composition containing a substantial amount of d -tocopherol by converting said d -tocopherol to a mixture of b - and a -tocopherols and separating the former from the latter. Examples describe the treatment of (1) a concentrate in which 76.5 per cent of the total tocopherol content is b -tocopherol, dissolved in diethyl ether; (2) a concentrate in which 86 per cent of the total tocopherol content is b -tocopherol, dissolved in isopropyl ether. Specifications 639,011, 676,853 and 681,508 are referred to.
