Abstract

The invention comprises a complex between Vitamin B12 and zinc-cuprocyanide, which is substantially water-insoluble, has a pink colour, is stable to treatment with most common organic solvents, is soluble in dimethyl formamide and may be precipitated from the solution thereof by adding acetone, and may be split up to form Vitamin B12 by treatment with an aqueous solution of a chelating and complexing agent known to give a complex salt with zinc, and a process for the production of highly pure Vitamin B12 which comprises forming zinccuprocyanide in a dilute solution of Vitamin B12 and any associated impurities by reacting a water-soluble cuprocyanide with a water-soluble zinc salt so as to precipitate a zinccuprocyanide Vitamin B12 complex, the remaining material staying in solution and recovering the highly pure Vitamin B12 from the precipitated complex by decomposing the complex. As water-soluble cuprocyanide there may be used tripotassium cuprocyanide which may be reacted with zinc sulphate or zinc acetate. The Vitamin B12 complex may be decomposed by means of a chelating agent such as the sodium salt of ethylene diamino tetra-acetic acid, the sodium salt of N-hydroxy-ethyl-ethylene diamino triacetic acid or the sodium salt of nitrilo triacetic acid in an organic solvent such as amyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, a phenol or a mixture of phenol with a halogenated hydrocarbon. Subsequently the organic solution of Vitamin B12 is extracted with water and the Vitamin B12 is precipitated by adding another organic solvent in which the Vitamin B12 is insoluble. Examples describe the production of zinc cuprocyanide-Vitamin B12 complex and the recovery of Vitamin B12 from fermentation broth. Specification 816,425 is referred to.
