Abstract
Lactic acid is prepared by contacting propylene at a temperature below about 40 DEG C. with an oxidizing medium containing at least one mol. of dinitrogen tetroxide (nitrogen dioxide), dinitrogen trioxide or a mixture thereof for each mol. of propylene, and reacting the resulting reaction products with at least one mol. of nitric acid for each mol. of propylene. The nitric acid may be present in the oxidizing medium or may subsequently be added to the reaction products or, preferably, the reaction products added to it. Nitric acid with an HNO3 concentration of 25-100 per cent by weight is suitable. It may be formed in situ, e.g. by reaction of added water with N2O4. When the oxidizing medium contains both nitric acid and the oxidizing agent, reaction temperatures below about 10 DEG C. are desirable. When two steps are used, the first is preferably effected below about 10 DEG C., but the step employing nitric acid may be effected at temperatures as high as 100 DEG C. An hydrolysis step may be necessary to obtain maximum yield of lactic acid. The lactic acid may be dehydrated to acrylic acid and/or esterified, e.g. with alkanols, or esterified then dehydrated. Dehydration may be with P2O5 or by the methods described in Specification 409,733, [Group IV]. An example is given in which the lactic acid is isolated as the calcium salt. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 785,152.
