The hydroxyaromatic ketoaldehyde can be further reacted to form a hydantoin, which hydantoin can be hydrolyzed to produce a hydroxyphenylglycine.
Description
FORMATION OF HYDROXYAROMATIC XETOACETAL FROM AN HYDROXYAROMATIC METHYLKETONE AND PRODUCTION OF 5-(4'-HYDROXYPHENYL)HYDANTOIN AND D-P-HYDROXYPHENYLGLYCINE FROM 4-HYDROXYACETOPHENONE Cross Reference To Related Application This application contains some subject matter of U.S. Patent Application Serial Number 07/451675 filed December 14th, 1989. hydroxyaromatic hydroxyaromatic Background of the Invention The present invention pertains to the formation of an hydroxyaromatic ketoacetal from an methylketone, to ’ the formation of ketcalaehyde from an hydroxyaromatic ketoacetal, and further to the formation of an hydantoin from the hydroxyaromatic ketoaldehyde. The invention also pertains to subsequent hydrolysis of the hydantoin to produce a hydroxyphenylglycine, and to techniques for resolution of optical isomers to provide a D-hydroxyphenylglycine.
In particular, the present invention relates to an improved process for the production of hydantoins and glycines. More particularly, the invention relates to a process for the preparation of 5-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin and phydroxyphenylglycine, and to the resolution of D-phydroxyphenylglycine, wherein the starting material for production of the hydantoins is 4-hydroxyacetophenone. *11 ν <5 8 ϋ N-7116B -(4’-Hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin is an important intermediate in the production of D-4-hydroxyphenylglycine which is employed for preparing semi-synthetic penicillins and cephalosporins. It is known that 5-(41-hydroxyphenyl)5 hydantoin may be synthesized by the reaction of 4hydroxybenzaldehyde, ammonium bicarbonate and sodium cyanide according to Bucherer-Berg1s method. However, this method requires the use of dangerous sodium cyanide, and further, the obtained crude hydantoin may contain large quantities of by-products caused by the oxidative side reaction of the phenol nucleus under an alkaline condition or may be colored.
U.S. Patent 4,230,869 provides a process for preparing -(4 *-hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin by reacting glyoxylic acid, urea and phenol in the presence of an acid. One disadvantage of this method is the requirement of heating to 40’ to 100’ to drive the reaction. 5-(4 Hydroxyphenyl)hydantoins have also been prepared by reacting allantoin with phenol in the presence of acids as taught in Japanese Kokai 78/112874.
In the prior art, D-4-hydroxyphenylglycine has been generally prepared by chemically subjecting DL-425 hydroxyphenylglycine to optical resolution. However, such a process has the disadvantage that DL-4hydroxyphenylglycine must be converted to derivatives such N-7116B as esterification and acylation products prior to subjecting it to optical resolution, or resolving reagents are required, and also process steps are required for racemizing the residual L-form.
It is also know in the art that D-4-hydroxyphenylglycine may be prepared by the enzymatic or alkali hydrolysis of 5(4’-hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin. In this regard one may refer to Takehashi, Microbial_Production_of_D-pHvdroxyphenvlqlvcine. Prog. Ind. Microbiol. 24(Biotechnol. Amino Acid Prod.) 269-79 (1986) and U.S. Patent 4,436,510 which are incorporated herein by reference.
In U.S. Patent 3,094,741, which is incorporated herein by reference, it is disclosed that DL-5-(4hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin can be almost quantitatively converted to D-N-carbamoyl-(4-hydroxyphenyl)glycine by causing cells or treated cells of specific microorganisms to act on the hydantoin in an aqueous medium at pH 7 to 10. D-N-carbamoyl-(4-hydroxyphenyl)glycine can be converted into D-4-hydroxyphenylglycine in high yields, for instance by reacting it with an eguimolar amount of nitrous acid in the presence of a strong acid.
Summary of the Invention In accordance with the method of present invention, an hydroxyaromatic methylketone is reacted to form an .3 l 9 10 4 3 8’ Ν-7116Β hydroxyaromatic ketoacetal. Also in accordance with the present invention, an hydroxyaromatic ketoacetal is reacted to form an hydroxyaromatic ketoaldehyde. Further in accordance with the present invention, the hydroxyaromatic ketoaldehyde is reacted to form a hydantoin. The hydantoin can be subsequently hydrolyzed to produce a hydroxyphenylglycine. The method of the present invention also pertains to techniques for resolution of optical isomers which techniques are combined with the reaction steps referred to above to provide a Dhydroxyphenylglycine.
More specifically, the hydroxyaromatic methylketone is reacted with a source of H+, a source of NO+, and a primary or secondary alcohol to produce the hydroxyaromatic ketoacetal. The source of NO+ can be a C, to C10 alkyl nitrite used in combination with an acid source, such as HCI, or can be a reactant NO+X', wherein X can be halogen, sulfite, sulfate, phosphite or phosphate. Preferably X is halogen, and most preferably X is chlorine. The hydroxyaromatic ketoacetal then comprises an acetal group, ,OR CH OR wherein R is typically C1 - C10 and is a primary or secondary alkyl structure.
N-7116B The hydroxyaromatic ketoacetal described above can be further reacted with water which has been previously acidified with any non-oxidizing acid to produce a hydroxyaromatic ketoaldehyde (hydroxyaromatic glyoxaldehyde).
The hydroxyaromatic ketoaldehyde can be further reacted with water, urea, and concentrated acid to produce a 5(hydroxyphenyl) hydantoin.
Although the method of the present invention can be applied using a starting material comprising an hydroxyaromatic methyl ketone in general, the method will be specifically described in terms of a p-hydroxyacetophenone starting material. The present invention provides an improvement over known methods of preparing hydantoins and glycines. The method for preparing the hydantoins and glycines can be a one pot reaction, wherein a hydroxyaromatic methylketone such as 4-hydroxyacetophenone is contacted with a source of H+, a source of NO+, and a primary or secondary alcohol to form an intermediate, such as the dialkylacetal of 4hydroxyphenylketoaldehyde.
The dialkylacetal of hydroxyphenylketoaldehyde, such as the dialkylacetal of 4-hydroxyphenylketoaldehyde, in the presence of water undergoes hydrolysis yielding a second N-7116B intermediate, hydroxyphenylketoaldehyde, such as 4hydroxyphenylketoaldehyde.
Without being restricted to a particular theory, it is hypothesized that the reaction proceeds as follows for conversion of 4-hydroxyacetophenone to 5-(4'hydroxyphenyl) hydantoin.
The 4-hydroxyacetophenone (I) , which is present in solution initially, undergoes acid catalyzed tautomerization to the enol form (II) in the presence of a strong mineral acid, preferably HCI. The enol then reacts with a nitrosonium ion (NO+) to form the alpha nitroso-4-hydroxyacetophenone (III). (III) undergoes an acid catalyzed tautomerization yielding alpha-oximino-4-hydroxyacetophenone (IV). The nitrosonium ion comes from an NO+ source such as nitrosyl chloride, which can be generated from the reaction of HCI with alkyl nitrite (RONO + HCI ---> ROH + NOCI, wherein R is C1 to C10) . (IV) then undergoes a solvolysis reaction with the isopropanol solvent forming the diisopropyl acetal of 4-hydroxyphenylketoaldehyde (V) . In the presence of water the acetal (V) undergoes hydrolysis yielding 4hydroxyphenylketoaldehyde (VI) which condenses with urea to form the pinacol (VII) which in the presence of acid undergoes a pinacol rearrangement yielding the hydantoin (VIII). None of the intermediates need be isolated in the reaction, and many are only present as equilibrium mixtures 6.
N-7116B which are shifted forward as the result of product formation.
In the alternative, in place of using the C, to c,0 alkyl 5 nitrite in combination with the HCI to produce the nitrosyl chloride as described above, it is possible to a source of N0+ directly. The source of N0+ is a reactant NO+X', wherein X can be halogen, sulfite, sulfate, phosphite, or phosphate. Preferably X is halogen, most preferably chlorine, and the source of N0+ is N0C1.
The reaction steps described above are illustrated below: OH ^910438:1 N-7116B (V) (VI) (VII) (VIII) The method of the invention also provides far formation of an hydroxyphenylglycine, wherein the 5(hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin described above is hydrolyzed to produce the hydroxyphenylglycine.
The invention further provides a method for producing Dhydroxyphenylglycine which comprises optically resolving the hydroxyphenylglycine described above to produce Dhydroxyphenylglycine.
The invention further provides an alternative method for producing D-hydroxyphenylglycine, comprising: enzymatically hydrolyzing the 5-(hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin previously described to form D-5-(hydroxyphenyl)hydantoic acid, and then decarbamoylating the D-5-(hydroxyphenyl)- hydantoic acid to form D-hydroxyphenylglycine.
N-7116B Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment In the practice of the present invention, one begins the procedure of producing 5-(4'-hydroxyphenyl) - hydantoin by reacting a mixture which is broadly composed of 45 hydroxyacetophenone, a C1 to C1Q alkyl nitrite, a primary or secondary alcohol, and a strong mineral acid such as hydrogen chloride to form an intermediate, hydroxyaromatic ketoacetal. Preferably the reaction mixture is substantially free from the presence of water.
The C1 to C10 alkyl nitrite, which is typically methyl nitrite, isopropyl nitrite or t-butyl nitrite. This reaction mixture component is preferably present in an amount of from about 1 to about 3 mole equivalents of the amount of 4-hydroxyacetophenone, more preferably from about to about 2.5 mole equivalents and most preferably from about 1 to about 2.0 mole equivalents.
The primary or secondary alcohol is typically methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, sec-butyl alcohol, or n-butyl alcohol. It is preferably present in a large excess of that amount required for the reaction or from about 2 to about 10 times the weight of the 4-hydroxyacetophenone or more preferably from about 2 to about 5 times the weight of the 4-hydroxyacetophenone. ► 810438 J N-7116B The strong mineral acid is preferably hydrogen chloride or sulfuric acid. Theoretically, the acid should be present in at least a catalytic amount, however, it is preferably present in the composition in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 6 mole equivalents of the amount of 4hydroxyacetophenone, more preferably from about 0.1 to about 3 mole equivalents and most preferable from about 0.1 to about 2 mole equivalents.
It presently appears that the components of the reaction mixture used to form the hydroxyaromatic ketoacetal may be combined in any order. The reaction is exothermic and requires no heating to drive the reaction. The reaction may be cooled to a convenient working temperature. In the preferred embodiment, the reaction is conducted at a temperature of from about -20’C to about 50 °C, or more preferably from about -10*C to about 40’ or most preferably from about -10'C to about 25’C.
In the preferred embodiment, the reaction to form the hydroxyaromatic ketoacetal is conducted for a time period ranging from about 1 hour to. about 2 4 hours, or more preferably from about 1 hour to about 8 hours, and most preferably from about 1 hour to about 4 hours.
The hydroxyaromatic ketoacetal, for example the dialkylacetal of 4-hydroxyphenylketoaldehyde (the LO N-7116B dialkylacetal of 4-hydroxyphenylglyoxaldehyde), is then hydrolyzed to produce hydroxyphenylketoaldehyde (hydroxyphenylglyoxal). The acetal of interest is added to water that has been previously acidified with any nonoxidizing acid, such as HCl or H2SO4, to a pH around O. (An organic cosolvent can also be used in combination with the water, cosolvents such as dioxane and acetonitrile are known to work.) The acetal can be solid or in solution. Under atmospheric pressure, wate and alcohol are removed by distillation during the reaction, to drive the reaction, until the conversion to hydroxyphenylglyoxal is complete. Generally, the alcohol (preferably methanol, isopropanol and n-butanol) will be lower boiling than water, but any alcohol that azeotropes works as well. As an alternative, acetic acid can be used as the reaction solvent rather than water so long as sufficient water is present for hydrolysis. When acetic acid is used, this acid is distilled off prior to any subsequent reaction of the hydroxyphenylglyoxal of the kind described below.
In the preferred embodiment for production of hydroxyphenylketoaldehyde from hydroxyaromatic ketoacetal, the water is present in the mixture in a large excess of that amount required for the reaction, preferably from about 0.1 to about 3 times the weight of the hydroxyaromatic ketoacetal, or more preferably from about 0.5 to about 2.5 times the weight of the alcohol, and most iJ N-7116B preferably about 0.5 to about 1.5 times the weight of the alcohol.
In the preferred embodiment for forming the hydroxyaromaticketoaldehyde, the concentrated mineral acid is theoretically present in at least a catalytic amount, however, it is preferably present in the composition in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 8 mole equivalents of the amount of 4-hydroxyacetophenone used initially or the 4hydroxyphenylketoacetal, more preferably from about 0.1 to about 4 mole equivalents and most preferably from about 0.1 to about 2 mole equivalents.
The hydroxyaromatic ketoaldehyde (hydroxyphenylglyoxal) can then be reacted with water, urea and concentrated mineral acid to produce 5-(hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin. In the preferred embodiment, the urea is present in an amount of from about 1 to about 4 mole equivalents of the amount of 4-hydroxyacetophenone used initially or the 4hydroxyphenylglyoxaldehyde, more preferably from about 1 to about 3 mole equivalents and most preferably from about 1 to about 2 mole equivalents.
Further it appears that the components of the reaction to convert the hydroxyphenylketoacetal to 5-(hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin may be combined in any order. Thus, the hydroxyphenylketoacetal can be reacted with water to Ν-7116Β prepare hydroxyphenylketoaldehyde and subsequently reacted to produce the hydantoin, or the hydroxyphenylketoacetyl can be combined with all of the reactants necessary to permit direct conversion to the hydantoin. This reaction step does require heating to drive the reactions. In the preferred embodiment, the reaction is conducted at a temperature of from about 40’C to about 10.0’C, or more preferably from about 50’C to about 100’C, and most preferably from about 50’C to the reflux temperature of the solution.
In the preferred embodiment, the reaction to form 5(hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin is conducted for from about 0.5 hour to about 24 hours, or more preferably from about 0.5 hour to about 8 hours, and most preferably from about 1 hour to about 5 hours.
In the preparation of hydroxyphenylglycine, such a 5-(4'hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin prepared as described above is hydrolyzed. Methods of hydrolysis are known in the art per se. The hydrolysis may be conducted by reacting the crude -(4'-hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution containing hydroxylamine yielding 5-(4'hydroxyphenyl)hydantoic acid. Upon treatment with nitrous acid, p-hydroxyphenylglycine is formed.
N-7116B Resolution There are many optical resolution techniques known in the art whereby a racemic mixture of DL-p-hydroxyphenylglycine can be resolved to D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine. Such may be performed with d-3-bromocamphor-3-sulfonic acid; aromatic sulfonic acids, such as benzenesulfonic acid, otoluenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic · acid, pethylbenzenesulfonic acid, sulfosalicylic acid, and 2naphthol-6-sulfonic acid; and (+)- phenylethanesulfate. In an alternative method, DL-5-(4-hydroxyphenyl) hydantoin can be converted into D-N-carbamoyl-(4-hydroxyphenyl)glycine, i.e. D-(4-hydroxyphenyl)hydantoic acid and the latter is then decarbamoylated into D-4-hydroxyphenylglycine.
It is known from U.S. Patent 3,094,741, that DL-5-(4hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin can be converted into D-Ncarbamoyl- (4-hydroxyphenyl) glycine by causing cells or treated cells of specific microorganisms to act on the hydantoin in an aqueous medium at pH 7 to 10. D-Ncarbamoyl-(4-hydroxyphenyl) glycine can be converted into D4-hydroxyphenylglycine by decarbamoylation by reacting D-Ncarbamoyl- (4-hydroxyphenyl) glycine with an equimolar amount of nitrous acid in the presence of a strong acid.
A racemic mixture of p-hydroxyphenylhydantoin may be converted to D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine according to the method of Takahashi, Microbial Production of D-pΓ4 & Ι· A -ir , j g N-7116B Hydroxyphenylglycine. Prog. Ind. Microbial., 24 (Biotechnol. Amino Acid Prod.), 269-279 (1986), which in incorporated herein by reference.
Transformation of p-hydroxyphenylhydantoin into N-Carbamovl-D-hvdroxyphenylglycine (D-hvdroxvphenvlhvdantoic acid) Enzyme Preparation For the industrial production of D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine, the microorganism employed in the asymmetric hydrolysis of p-hydroxyphenylhydantoin is selected from wild strains by examining the hydantoinase activity and its stereoselectivity. Such microorganisms can be found in a side range of genera, high activity is especially found in bacteria. Cells with high hydantoinase activity can be obtained by culturing the microorganism in a medium supplemented by pyrimidine base or their metabolites such as uracil, thymine, or Beta-Alanine as the inducer. The accumulation of hydantoinase in cells is further increased, when a metal ion such as manganese, nickel, or magnesium is added in the medium together with the inducer.
Asymmetric Hydrolysis of p-Hydroxyphenvl Hydantoin In the reaction of the asymmetric hydrolysis of phydroxypheynlhydantoin, racemic p-hydroxyphenyl hydantoin can be completely transformed into N-carbamoyl-D-phydroxyphenylglycine by the action of microbial .15 L9 10 4 3 8 3 N-7116B hydantoinase. Generally hydantoins are readily racemized in dilute alkaline solution through the mechanism of base catalysis. In practice, p-hydroxyphenyl hydantoin undergoes spontaneous racemization very easily under mild conditions such as those of the enzymatic reaction. In the reaction system of the asymmetric hydrolysis of phydrοxypheny1hydantoiη , only D-form phydroxyphenylhydantoin is susceptible to the enzymatic hydrolysis. Unreactive L-p-hydroxyphenylhydantoin undergoes rapid spontaneous racemization in the same system. However, the N-carbamoyl-D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine formed is never racemized under these conditions.
Consequently, in this system, the enzymatic hydrolysis of the hydantoin ring and chemical racemization of the substrate proceed simultaneously, so that DL-phydroxyphenyl hydantoin can be completely transformed into D-form N-carbamoyl-p-hydroxyphenylglycine.
The microorganism is employed in a form of cultured broth, with intact cells or treated cells used as an enzyme for the hydrolysis. In may cases, the smooth reaction can be performed by using the cultured broth as is. The high concentration of the substrate DL-p-hydroxyphenylhydantoin is available to the reaction depending upon the activity of microorganism used. A large portion of phydroxyphenylhydantoin is present in suspended form, since the solubility of p-hydroxyphenylhydantoin in water is very L6 s-g Ή 4 3 8, N-7116B low (50-75 mM) . However, the substrate is successively dissolved in the progress of the reaction in alkaline pH. It is preferable to maintain the pH by adding alkaline solution successively, since the pH is lowered in the course of hydrolysis and the drop in pH will result in lowering the reaction rate. It is also effective to cover the reaction mixture with an inert gas such as nitrogen to avoid oxidative side reaction of phenol nucleus. Under these optimum conditions, the yield of N-carbamoyl-D-phydroxyphenylglycine formed is almost quantitative.
Decarbamoylation of N-Carbamovl-D-p-Hydroxyphenylglycine N-Carbamoyl-D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis can be readlily converted into D-phydroxyphenylglycine by decarbamoylation with nitrous acid under acidic conditions. The principle of this oxidative reaction is based on the Van Slyke determination, and the reaction seems to be a consecutive reaction as follows. With respect to the stereochemistry of the reaction, the retention of the configuration is achieved completely. Therefore, optically pure D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine can be readily obtained in good yield. The decarbamoylation is preferably carried out by reacting N-carbamoyl-D-phydroxyphenylglycine with an approximately equimolar nitrous acid in an aqueous medium in the presence of a strong mineral acid such as sulfuric or hydrochloric acid. It is convenient to employ a water-soluble salt of nitrous 1Z «ft ι ·ν '-if ς-J V0 N-7116B acid such as sodium nitrite or potassium nitrite. Since this decarbamoylation is an exothermic reaction and generates large quantities of gas (N2 and CO2) , an aqueous solution of nitrous acid is added gradually to the rection medium with agitation to perform the smooth reaction. The reaction temperature is usually kept below 20’C in order to avoid a side reaction such as the further degradation of Dp-hydroxyphenylglycine into 4-hydroxymandelic acid and others. Under these optimum conditions, the yield of D-phydroxyphenylglycine from N-carbamoy1-D-phydroxyphenylglycine is almost guantitative. A chemicoenzymatic process, attractive from economical and technical standpoints, was developed for the production of D-phydroxyphenylglycine. In the first step of the process, DL-p-hydroxyphenylhydantoin is synthesized. In the second step, DL-p-hydroxyphenyl hydantoin is completely hydrolyzed into N-carbamoyl-D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine by microbial hydantoinase. In the third step, N-carbamoyl-D-phydroxyphenylglycine is then transformed into D-phydroxyphenylglycine by chemical reaction. This simplified process provides high optically pure D-phydroxyphenylglycine in high yield.
The following non-limiting examples serve to illustrate the invention.

The NaNOz suspension in Flask A was stirred at a low speed and the 84 g of HCI was added slowly over a 2 hour time =- ί 4 25 ’’ N-7116B period using the peristaltic pump. As the HCl was added to Flask A, a gas comprised of MeONO was formed. This gas passed through the tygon tubing into Flask B. Once the HCl addition to Flask A was complete, the agitation (stirring) rate in Flask B was increased substantially and the agitation was carried out for a time period of one to two minutes, after which Flask A and Flask B were 'disconnected. Samples from Flask B were analyzed by LC which indicated a yield of 4-hydroxyphenylglyoxal dimethyl acetal of about 88-97% by weight based on the 4-hydroxyacetophenone.
Subsequently, to Flask B was added a mixture of urea (37.4g, 0.62 mol), water (250 ml), and 12 M HCl (10 ml).
The contents of Flask B were then stirred at atmospheric pressure under a nitrogen blanket. The temperature was reflux temperature for the contents of Flask B and the reaction time period typically ranged between 18 and 36 hours. The reaction mixture of Flask B was concentrated by removing 160 ml of MeOH by distillation. The mixture residue was chilled overnight at about 0 - 5’C to promote full crystallization of 5-(41-hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin. The crystallized 5-(41-hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin was collected by suction filtration, washed with chilled water, and dried in vacuo at 60’C.

Conversion of 4-Hydroxyacetophenone to 4Hydroxyphenvlglvoxal.
Example 10 Two hundred and seventy-two (272) grams of 4hydroxyacetophenone (4-HAP) were charged into a 2 liter, three neck flask containing 600 ml of 1.25 M HCI in methanol. The reactor was fitted with a Friedrich condenser, gas inlet tube below the surface of the methanol, thermowell and magnetic stirrer. Methyl nitrite, generated in a separate reactor by adding diluted sulfuric acid to a methanolic slurry of sodium nitrite, was introduced through the gas inlet. The rate of adding sulfuric acid was used to control the addition of methyl nitrite. The temperature was maintained at < 15’C in the 4-HAP reaction flask.
After the oxidation of 4-HAP to 4-hydroxyphenylglyoxaldimethyl acetal (HPGMA) was complete, the reaction was quenched with an equal volume of water. Most of the methanol was removed under vacuum. The resulting aqueous solution was placed in a round bottom flask set up for distillation. The solution was heated to boiling and the distillation head temperature was monitored. Upon reaching 100‘C, the solution was checked by HPLC and found to contain no starting material (HPGMA). Cooling of the residue in the boiling flask to around 4 - 5*c (with t9 10 438 J N-7116B stirring) crystallized out the HPGO (416.9 grams; assay48. 3% HPGO, 47.5% H2O; 1.2 moles 4-hydroxyphenylglyoxal (HPGO), 60% isolated yield).

Nitrosyl chloride, generated in a separate reactor by adding 40% aqueous NaNO2 (259 grams, 1.5 mole) to concentrated HCl (360 mL, 3 moles), was introduced through the gas inlet. The rate of adding sodium nitrite was used to control the addition of nitrosyl chloride. The temperature was maintained at < 5 °C in the 4-HAP reaction flask.
After the oxidation of 4-HAP to HPGMA was complete, the reaction was quenched with an equal volume of water. Most of the methanol was removed under vacuum. The resulting aqueous solution was placed in the refrigerator (-5’C). After cooling overnight, a yellow solid was filtered off. Drying in the vacuum oven yielded HPGO (87.6% pure, 28.9 grams, 0.15 mole, 30% yield). The filtrate was assayed to b-9 10 438 ’ N-7116B contain 11.5% HPGO (350 grams, 40.25 grams h’PGO, 0.24 mole).

In the case of DLp-hydroxyphenylglycine·o-toluenesulfonic acid, DL-phydroxyphenylglycine‘o-toluenesulfonic acid (24.00 g) and D-phydroxyphenylglycine ‘o-toluenesulfonic acid (2.50 g) are dissolved in water (100 ml) at an elevated temperature. The solution is cooled to 30°C, seeded with D-phydroxyphenylglycine ‘o-toluenesulfonic acid (0.10 g), and stirred at the same temperature. By refractometric and polarimetric measurements of the liquid phase, it is observed that preferential crystallization of D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine·otoluenesulfonic acid remain in the solution.
