Abstract
A novel method for the preparation of crotonobetaine hydrochloride, a starting material for the microbiological preparation of L-carnitine, is described. In this process, carnitine hydrochloride is reacted, in racemic form or in the form of the enantiomers, with acetic anhydride.
Description
The invention relates to a new method of manufacturing crotonobetaine hydrochloride from carnitine hydrochloride, particularly from racemic carnitine hydrochloride or from D-camitine hydrochloride.
Crotonobetaine hydrochloride is employed inter alia as a starting material in the microbiological synthesis of L-camitine, see for example European Patent Application Nos. 0 158 194 and 0 122 794.
A process is described in Chemical Abstracts Vol. 59, 6428 (Binon et al) in which crotonobetaine hydrochloride is produced, with a 78% yield, by reacting DL - caranitine hydrochloride with concentrated sulphuric acid at 130°C, precipitating the product of this reaction with acetone and treating it with barium chloride. - 2 In addition to the problems associated with handling concentrated sulphuric acid, a serious drawback of this process steins from the barium sulphate, which is produced as a by-product and which cannot be re-circulated.
L-camitine may be obtaining by separating it from the racemate, using a conventional chemical method, such as that described in German Democratic Republic Patent No. 23 217. However, this approach inevitably leads to the production of D-carnitine as a by-product, for which, hitherto, no further use has been found.
It, therefore, is an object of the present invention to provide a process which does not suffer from the aforementioned disadvantages.
According to the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing crotonobetaine hydrochloride comprising reacting racemic carnitine hydrochloride, Dcamitine hydrochloride, or L-camitine hydrochloride, with between 1.5 and 15 mol of acetic anhydride per mol of carnitine hydrochloride, in the presence of an acid catalyst and at a temperature of between 90 and 130°C.
BSggWffW· 'jll HI - 3 Needless to say, the preferred form of carnitine hydrochloride is either the D-form derived from D-camitine produced as a by-product of conventional L-camitine synthesis, or the comparatively inexpensive recemate D L-camitine.
The quantity of acetic anhydride use<^ is preferably within the range of 1.8 to 2 mol per mol of carnitine hydrochloride.
As regards the acid calayst, preference is given to the use of p-toluene sulphonic acid in a quantity of between 0.5 and 2% by weight in respect of the carnitine hydrochloride employed.
The raction temperature is preferably between 110 and 125°C, the range 115 - 120°C being considered the most advantageous of all.
In this temperature range the reaction is usually completed after about 2 hours. - 4 In a preferred embodiment, after the reaction is substantially complete, a low molecular weight aliphatic alcohol, preferably ethanol, is added to the hot reaction mixture, which is preferably at a temperature of 70 - 80°C, and the resulting mixture is then cooled, to cause the desired crotonobetaine hydrochlorise to be precipitated in a particularly pure state for subseguent isolation.
By employing a method in accordance with the invention, yields over 70% may to be obtained.
The crotonbetaine hydrochloride can be desalted conventionally, for example by electro-dialysis, and converted to crotonobetaine.
The product obtained by the inventive method is particularly suitable for use in the microbiological production of L-camitine.
Example: .Og (0.125 mol) of DL-camitine hydrochloride, 0.25g (1.5m mol) of p-toluene sulphonic acid and 25.Og (0.245 mol) of acetic anhydride were heated to 120°C for 2 - 5 hours. The resulting dark-coloured solution was allowed to cool down to about 80°C and 20 ml of ethanol were added thereto. During further slow cooling of reaction mixture the product began to precipitate. The resulting suspension was cooled to about 6°C with an ice water bath, the precipitate was removed by suction and then washed with a small quantity of cold ethanol. The crotonobetaine hydrochloride product was dried in a vacuum.
The product comprised 17.4g of a beige coloured powder with a purity of 96% (HPLC), corresponding to a yield of 73.5%.
