A first step of synthesizing 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid (the following formula (4)) by reacting in the presence thereof, and this 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) ) -L-ascorbic acid was separated and purified, and then 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene)-in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate.

この従来の方法には次のような問題点があった。
第1の問題点は、第1工程において、L−アスコルビン酸とアセトンとを反応させると
きに使用する酸触媒の量が、通常の反応で使用される触媒量に比較してけた違いに多いことである。ここで使用される酸触媒としては、塩化亜鉛(特許文献4)、五塩化アンチモ
ン(特許文献5)、発煙硫酸(特許文献6)、濃硫酸(特許文献7)、三フッ化ホウ素エチルエーテル錯体(特許文献8)、硫酸銅(非特許文献4)、塩化アセチル(非特許文献5,6)、p−トルエンスルホン酸(非特許文献7)などの多種類の酸性化合物が報告さ
れている。しかし上記方法で使用される酸触媒の使用量は、L−アスコルビン酸1モルに
対して0.3モル以上、場合によっては2〜6モル以上というように例外なく極めて多い。
This conventional method has the following problems.
The first problem is that, in the first step, the amount of acid catalyst used when L-ascorbic acid and acetone are reacted is much larger than the amount of catalyst used in a normal reaction. It is. Examples of the acid catalyst used here include zinc chloride (Patent Document 4), antimony pentachloride (Patent Document 5), fuming sulfuric acid (Patent Document 6), concentrated sulfuric acid (Patent Document 7), and boron trifluoride ethyl ether complex. Many kinds of acidic compounds such as (Patent Document 8), copper sulfate (Non-Patent Document 4), acetyl chloride (Non-Patent Documents 5 and 6), and p-toluenesulfonic acid (Non-Patent Document 7) have been reported. However, the amount of the acid catalyst used in the above method is extremely large without exception such as 0.3 mol or more, and in some cases 2 to 6 mol or more with respect to 1 mol of L-ascorbic acid.

このため第1工程の反応液は強い酸性状態にあるので、塩基存在下で行う必要のある第2工程をこの反応液中で行うことは困難であり、前述のように5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸を一旦反応液から分離して、第1工程とは異なる反応系で第2工程を行うことが余儀なくされた。また第1工程の反応液から析出する5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸の結晶中には多量の酸性化合物が混在することになるので、この結晶を濾取し、冷アセトンで十分に洗浄して酸性化合物を除去するという操作をする必要があった。しかもこの洗浄のみでは酸性化合物を完全に除去することはできないので、この5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸の結晶の保存中に残存する酸性化合物により5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸が分解を起こすという不都合が生じていた。   For this reason, since the reaction liquid in the first step is in a strongly acidic state, it is difficult to carry out the second step in the presence of a base in this reaction liquid. As described above, 5,6-O— (1-Methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid was once separated from the reaction solution, and the second step was forced to be performed in a reaction system different from the first step. In addition, a large amount of acidic compound is mixed in the 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid crystals precipitated from the reaction solution in the first step. Further, it was necessary to perform an operation of sufficiently washing with cold acetone to remove the acidic compound. In addition, since the acidic compound cannot be completely removed only by this washing, the 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid crystals remain in storage during the storage of the 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid crystals. There was a disadvantage that O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid was decomposed.

第2の問題点は、第2工程において溶媒として高沸点で高価格のジメチルスルホキシドやジメチルホルムアミドを使用するので、工業的な製造方法としては、経済上も操作上も不利であるという点である。第2工程でこれらの溶媒を使用するのは、炭酸水素ナトリウムまたは炭酸水素カリウムの存在の下で生成する5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸のナトリウム塩またはカリウム塩の溶解度を高めるために必要だからである。

The second problem is that dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethylformamide having a high boiling point and a high price are used as a solvent in the second step, which is disadvantageous in terms of economy and operation as an industrial production method. . The use of these solvents in the second step is the sodium salt or potassium salt of 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid formed in the presence of sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate. This is because it is necessary to increase the solubility of.

The present invention for solving the above problems is a first step of producing 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid by reacting L-ascorbic acid with acetone using an acidic compound as a catalyst. And the 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid produced in the first step and an alkylating agent in the presence of a base to produce 3-O-alkyl-5,6 In a method for producing 3-O-alkyl-5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid, comprising a second step of producing —O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid In the method for producing 3-O-alkyl-5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid, wherein the first step is performed in the presence of 2,2-dimethoxypropane. is there.

この発明の好適な態様として、第2工程が、第1工程で得られた反応液に塩基およびアルキル化剤を添加して行われる。

ルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸を製造することを特徴とする5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸の製造方法である。
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second step is performed by adding a base and an alkylating agent to the reaction solution obtained in the first step.
In addition, the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is obtained by reacting L-ascorbic acid and acetone in the presence of 2,2-dimethoxypropane using an acidic compound as a catalyst, and 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene). A process for producing 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid, characterized by producing -L-ascorbic acid.

本発明によれば、前記第1工程が2,2−ジメトキシプロパンの存在下で行われることにより酸触媒の使用量を大幅に減少させることができる。このため第1工程の反応液から、酸性化合物等の不純物の含有量が少なく、純度の高い5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸の結晶が得られる。したがってこの結晶を、精製することなく、第2工程に用いることができるので、反応工程が簡便になる。また第1工程の反応液は強い酸性状態にはないので、この反応液を少量のアルカリで中和することができる。このため中和した反応液に塩基を添加して第2工程を行うことができる。このため本発明によれば、反応中間体である5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸を分離精製する必要がなくなり、第1工程と第2工程とを同一の反応液系で行うことができるので、反応工程が極めて簡便になる。   According to the present invention, since the first step is performed in the presence of 2,2-dimethoxypropane, the amount of the acid catalyst used can be greatly reduced. Therefore, from the reaction solution of the first step, 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid crystals having a low content of impurities such as acidic compounds and high purity can be obtained. Therefore, since this crystal can be used in the second step without purification, the reaction step becomes simple. Further, since the reaction solution in the first step is not in a strong acidic state, the reaction solution can be neutralized with a small amount of alkali. For this reason, a 2nd process can be performed by adding a base to the neutralized reaction liquid. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to separate and purify the reaction intermediate 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid, and the first step and the second step are the same reaction. Since it can be carried out in a liquid system, the reaction process becomes extremely simple.

本発明によれば、第1工程と第2工程とを同一の反応液系で行うことにより、第2工程で
高沸点であり高価格であるDMSOまたはDMFなどの溶媒を使用する必要がなくなり、工業的
な製造方法として、経済上も操作上も有利となる。
According to the present invention, by performing the first step and the second step in the same reaction liquid system, it is not necessary to use a solvent such as DMSO or DMF having a high boiling point and high price in the second step, As an industrial manufacturing method, it is advantageous in terms of economy and operation.

本発明によれば、前記第1工程が2,2−ジメトキシプロパンの存在下で行われることで、第1工程の反応が定量的に進行するようになるので、反応中間体である5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸の収率が高くなる。この結果、工業的に満足することのできる3−O−アルキル−5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸の収率を得ることができる。   According to the present invention, since the first step is carried out in the presence of 2,2-dimethoxypropane, the reaction in the first step proceeds quantitatively, so that it is a reaction intermediate of 5,6. The yield of -O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid is increased. As a result, an industrially satisfactory yield of 3-O-alkyl-5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid can be obtained.

また本発明によれば、高純度の5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸を高収率で製造することができる。   According to the present invention, high-purity 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid can be produced in a high yield.

This first step is performed, for example, as follows. After preparing an acetone suspension of L-ascorbic acid and adding 2,2-dimethoxypropane thereto, an acidic compound as an acid catalyst was added dropwise to the suspension while stirring the suspension. Continue stirring for hours. Then, the reaction intermediate 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid is precipitated as white crystals.

このように第1工程を2,2−ジメトキシプロパンの存在下で行うと、酸触媒の使用量を大幅に減少させることができる。このため析出する5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)

Thus, when the first step is performed in the presence of 2,2-dimethoxypropane, the amount of the acid catalyst used can be greatly reduced. Therefore, 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) which precipitates
The amount of the acid catalyst mixed in the crystals of -L-ascorbic acid is reduced, and high purity 5,6-O- (1
-Methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid crystals are obtained. Further, the reaction between L-ascorbic acid and acetone proceeds quantitatively, and the yield of 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid increases.

In the conventional method in which 2,2-dimethoxypropane is not used, the amount of the acid catalyst used is as described above with respect to 1 mol of L-ascorbic acid.
Since it is 3 mol or more, and in some cases 2 to 6 mol or more, in the method of the present invention, the amount of the acid catalyst used can be reduced from 1/6 to 1/100 or less as compared with the conventional method.

(2)第2工程
本発明の第2工程は、従来の方法と同様に、第1工程で得られた5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸の結晶を分離精製して、これを溶媒に溶解させ、塩基の存在下で、5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸をアルキル化剤と反応させることによっても行うことができる。
The reaction temperature in the first step is preferably from room temperature to the reflux temperature of acetone.
As the reaction time, about 1 hour is sufficient at the reflux temperature, and 2 to 3 hours are suitable at room temperature.
(2) Second Step In the second step of the present invention, the 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid crystals obtained in the first step are separated and purified as in the conventional method. It can also be carried out by dissolving this in a solvent and reacting 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid with an alkylating agent in the presence of a base.

この場合の第2工程の条件は、従来法と同様であり,たとえば溶媒としては、DMSOまたはDMF等を挙げることができ、塩基としては炭酸水素ナトリウム、炭酸水素カリウム
、トリエチルアミンおよびエチルジイソプロピルアミン等の3級アミン並びにナトリウム
メトキシド等を挙げることができ、アルキル化剤としては臭化アルキルおよびヨウ化アルキル等のハロゲン化アルキル、メタンスルホン酸アルキル、p−トルエンスルホン酸アルキル並びに硫酸ジアルキル等を挙げることができる。
The conditions for the second step in this case are the same as in the conventional method, and examples of the solvent include DMSO or DMF. Examples of the base include sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, triethylamine, and ethyldiisopropylamine. Examples of the alkylating agent include alkyl halides such as alkyl bromide and alkyl iodide, alkyl methanesulfonate, alkyl p-toluenesulfonate, and dialkyl sulfate. Can do.

従来の方法がこのように第1工程で得られた5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−
アスコルビン酸の結晶を分離精製した上で、第1工程とは異なる反応系で第2工程を行うのは、第1工程の反応液が極めて高濃度の酸性化合物を含んでいるので、これを中和するの
に要するアルカリ量も極めて多量となって、中和した後の反応液中には極めて多量の夾雑物が存在することになり、この反応液中で第2工程の反応を行うことが事実上困難である
こと、および第1工程で得られた5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン
酸の結晶中には未反応のアスコルビン酸が含有されており、この結晶をそのまま第2工程
の反応に用いることが困難であることを理由とする。
The 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L- thus obtained by the conventional method thus obtained in the first step.
After the ascorbic acid crystals are separated and purified, the second step is performed in a reaction system different from the first step because the reaction solution in the first step contains an extremely high concentration of acidic compounds. The amount of alkali required for refining is extremely large, and a very large amount of impurities are present in the reaction solution after neutralization. The reaction in the second step can be performed in this reaction solution. It is practically difficult, and unreacted ascorbic acid is contained in the 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid crystal obtained in the first step. This is because it is difficult to use as it is in the reaction of the second step.

しかし本発明の第1工程の反応液に含有される酸性化合物は、上記の通り低濃度である
ので、この反応液は少量のアルカリで中和することができる。このため本発明においては、中和した後の反応液中に存在する夾雑物は少量であり、この反応液中で第2工程の反応
を行うことが可能である。また第1工程の反応液中の酸性化合物が低濃度であることから
、第1工程で得られた5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)− L−アスコルビン酸の結晶中に含有されている酸性化合物はわずかであり、この結晶は高純度であるので、この結晶を精製せずにそのまま第2工程の反応に用いることが可能である。
However, since the acidic compound contained in the reaction solution of the first step of the present invention has a low concentration as described above, this reaction solution can be neutralized with a small amount of alkali. Therefore, in the present invention, a small amount of impurities are present in the reaction solution after neutralization, and the reaction in the second step can be carried out in this reaction solution. In addition, since the acidic compound in the reaction solution in the first step has a low concentration, it is contained in the 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid crystals obtained in the first step. Since there are few acidic compounds and the crystals are of high purity, the crystals can be used as they are in the second step reaction without purification.

このため本発明の第2工程は、第1工程で得られた5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)
−L−アスコルビン酸の結晶を分離精製することなく、5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデ
ン)−L−アスコルビン酸の結晶を含む第1工程で得られた反応液をそのまま第2工程に用いることができる。したがって本発明では、第2工程でDMSO等の新たな溶媒を使用する必要がなく、第1工程で得られたアセトン溶媒中で引き続き第2工程を行うことができる。つまり本発明では第2工程を、第1工程で得られた反応液に塩基およびアルキル化剤を添加して行うことができる。
Therefore, the second step of the present invention is the 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) obtained in the first step.
Without separating and purifying the crystals of L-ascorbic acid, the reaction solution obtained in the first step containing 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid crystals was directly used as the second step. Can be used. Therefore, in the present invention, it is not necessary to use a new solvent such as DMSO in the second step, and the second step can be continued in the acetone solvent obtained in the first step. That is, in the present invention, the second step can be performed by adding the base and the alkylating agent to the reaction solution obtained in the first step.

このような第2工程は、たとえば次のように行うことができる。
第1工程で生成した5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸の結晶を
含む反応液に塩基を加え、5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸のトリアルキルアンモニウム塩またはナトリウム塩等を生成させる。この反応液にアルキル化剤を添加することにより、3−O−アルキル−5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸を生成させる。
Such a second step can be performed, for example, as follows.
A base is added to the reaction solution containing 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid crystals formed in the first step, and 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbine is added. A trialkylammonium salt or a sodium salt of an acid is produced. By adding an alkylating agent to the reaction solution, 3-O-alkyl-5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid is produced.

この第2工程で使用される塩基としては、炭酸水素ナトリウム、炭酸水素カリウム、トリエチルアミンおよびエチルジイソプロピルアミン等の3級アミン並びにナトリウムメト
キシド等を挙げることができる。塩基の添加量としては、L−アスコルビン酸1モルに対
して1〜1.5モルが好ましい。
Examples of the base used in the second step include tertiary amines such as sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, triethylamine and ethyldiisopropylamine, sodium methoxide and the like. The addition amount of the base is preferably 1 to 1.5 mol with respect to 1 mol of L-ascorbic acid.

第2工程で使用されるアルキル化剤としては、臭化アルキルおよびヨウ化アルキル等のハロゲン化アルキル、メタンスルホン酸アルキル、p−トルエンスルホン酸アルキ並びに硫酸ジアルキル等を挙げることができる。アルキル化剤の添加量としては、、L−アスコ
ルビン酸1モルに対して1〜1.5モルが好ましい。
Examples of the alkylating agent used in the second step include alkyl halides such as alkyl bromide and alkyl iodide, alkyl methanesulfonate, alkyl p-toluenesulfonate, and dialkyl sulfate. The addition amount of the alkylating agent is preferably 1 to 1.5 mol with respect to 1 mol of L-ascorbic acid.

第2工程における反応温度としては、室温からアセトンの還流温度までが好適である。反応時間としては、還流温度では1〜2時間、室温では3〜5時間が好適である。
本発明の第1工程では、前述のようにL−アスコルビン酸とアセトンとの反応が定量的に進行し、5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸の収率が高くなることから、第2工程においても3−O−アルキル−5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−
アスコルビン酸が高収率で得られる。さらに上記のように第1工程で得られた5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸を分離精製することなく第2工程を行うことにより、分離精製によるロスがなくなり、第1工程で得られた5,6−O−(1−メチルエ
チリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸を100%第2工程に利用することができるので、さらに
3−O−アルキル−5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸が高収率で得られる。
The reaction temperature in the second step is preferably from room temperature to the reflux temperature of acetone. The reaction time is preferably 1 to 2 hours at reflux temperature and 3 to 5 hours at room temperature.
In the first step of the present invention, as described above, the reaction between L-ascorbic acid and acetone proceeds quantitatively, and the yield of 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid is high. Therefore, also in the second step, 3-O-alkyl-5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-
Ascorbic acid is obtained in high yield. Furthermore, by performing the second step without separating and purifying 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid obtained in the first step as described above, loss due to separation and purification is eliminated. Since 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid obtained in the first step can be used 100% in the second step, further 3-O-alkyl-5,6-O -(1-Methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid is obtained in high yield.

このようにして得られた3−O−アルキル−5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸は、第2工程の反応液からアセトンを留去した後、得られた固形物を酢酸
エチルに溶解し、水洗後、酢酸エチルを留去することにより粗結晶として得られる。この粗結晶は、少量の2,3−O−ジアルキル−5,6−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコ
ルビン酸を含有するが、3−O−アルキル−L−アスコルビン酸の製造にはそのまま使用

The 3-O-alkyl-5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid thus obtained was obtained after the acetone was distilled off from the reaction solution in the second step. The product is dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with water, and then distilled off to remove the ethyl acetate to obtain crude crystals. This crude crystal contains a small amount of 2,3-O-dialkyl-5,6- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid, but as it is for the production of 3-O-alkyl-L-ascorbic acid. Can be used. If necessary, it can be purified by recrystallization from ethyl acetate-hexane or the like.

Hereinafter, the method for producing 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid according to the present invention (that is, the first step) will be described in detail with reference to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2. . These tests were carried out with slight modifications to the method of Jung et al. (Non-patent Document 6). Further, according to Example 2, detailed methods and results of the method for producing 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid according to the present invention will be described. Detailed implementation methods and results of the method for producing 3-O-alkyl-5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid will be described. The melting point was measured based on the 15th revision Japanese Pharmacopoeia, General Test Method Melting Point Measurement Method (2006).
(Comparative Example 1)
To a mixed solution of 10 g (5,68 × 10 −2 mol) of L-ascorbic acid and 40 ml of acetone, 1 ml (1.41 × 10 −2 mol) of acetyl chloride was added at room temperature while stirring, and the mixture was stirred for 17 hours. . A small amount of the produced crystal was collected, washed with a small amount of acetone, and the melting point was measured. To this reaction solution, 2.85 g (2.82 × 10 −2 mol) of triethylamine was added for neutralization, and 150 ml of acetone was added and heated slightly to dissolve the crystals. When this solution was filtered, 0.62 g of insoluble matter was obtained. TLC confirmed that this insoluble matter was L-ascorbic acid.
(Comparative Example 2)
The same treatment as in Comparative Example 1 was conducted except that 0.1 ml (1.41 × 10 −3 mol) of acetyl chloride and 0.29 g (2.82 × 10 −3 mol) of triethylamine were used. Melting | fusing point of the produced | generated crystal | crystallization was 190-192 degreeC (decomposition | disassembly), and 6.0g of L-ascorbic acid which is an insoluble matter was obtained.
Example 1
7.0 ml of 2,2-dimethoxypropane in a mixture of L-ascorbic acid and acetone
The same treatment as in Comparative Example 2 was conducted except that (5,68 × 10 −2 mol) was added. The melting point of the produced crystal was 209 to 210 ° C. (decomposition). When the produced crystal was dissolved and TLC (SiO 2 : methanol / chloroform = 1/1) was performed, a single spot was obtained. Insoluble matter was not obtained.

As described above, in Comparative Example 2 in which 2,2-dimethoxypropane was not added and acetyl chloride as an acid catalyst was used in a molar ratio of about 1/40 of L-ascorbic acid, unreacted L-
Ascorbic acid was obtained as much as 6.0 g, and the reaction rate was found to be extremely low. Also 5,6-
The melting point of the purified product of O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid is 213 to 213.5.
Since the melting point of the crystal produced in Comparative Example 2 was about 20 ° C. lower than this, it was found that the crystal was very low in purity and contained a considerable amount of impurities. .

2,2−ジメトキシプロパンを添加せず、酸触媒である塩化アセチルをモル比でL−アスコルビン酸の約1/4も使用した比較例1では、未反応のL−アスコルビン酸の量が比較例2の場合の約1/10であり、反応率は比較例2よりはかなり高かったが、定量的な反応
には至っていないことがわかった。比較例1で生成した結晶の融点は、精製物の融点と比較して約10℃低いことから、この結晶は、比較例2の結晶よりは純度が高いが、なお相当量の不純物を含んでいることがわかった。
In Comparative Example 1 in which 2,1-dimethoxypropane was not added and acetyl chloride as an acid catalyst was used in a molar ratio of about 1/4 of L-ascorbic acid, the amount of unreacted L-ascorbic acid was comparative. 2 was about 1/10, and the reaction rate was considerably higher than that of Comparative Example 2, but it was found that a quantitative reaction was not achieved. Since the melting point of the crystal produced in Comparative Example 1 is about 10 ° C. lower than that of the purified product, this crystal is higher in purity than the crystal of Comparative Example 2, but still contains a considerable amount of impurities. I found out.

On the other hand, in Example 1 to which 2,2-dimethoxypropane was added, although only about 1/40 of L-ascorbic acid was used at a molar ratio of acetyl chloride, unreacted L-
Ascorbic acid was not confirmed, and it was found that the reaction was carried out almost quantitatively. The melting point of the crystals produced in Example 1 was not significantly different from the melting point of the purified product, and it was found that the crystals had a considerably high purity of 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid. .

このように酸性化合物を触媒としてL−アスコルビン酸とアセトンとを反応させて5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸を製造するときに2,2−ジメトキシプロパンを添加すると、酸触媒量を大幅に減少させても反応がほぼ定量的に進行し、しかも純度の高い5,6−O−(1−メチルエチリデン)−L−アスコルビン酸の結晶が高収率で得られることがわかった。

Thus, when 2,6-dimethoxypropane is added to produce 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid by reacting L-ascorbic acid with acetone using an acidic compound as a catalyst. The reaction proceeds almost quantitatively even when the amount of the acid catalyst is greatly reduced, and high purity 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid crystals can be obtained in a high yield. I understood it.
Example 2 Synthesis of 5,6-O- (1-methylethylidene) -L-ascorbic acid
To a mixed liquid of 176.1 g (1 mol) of L-ascorbic acid and 900 ml (10.5 mol) of acetone, 123 ml (1 mol) of 2,2-dimethoxypropane was added and 2.4 g of methanesulfonic acid ( 2.5 × 10 −2 mol) was added dropwise. After reacting at 40 ° C. for 2 hours, the reaction solution was neutralized with 2.5 g (2.5 × 10 −2 mol) of triethylamine. The reaction solution was cooled with ice water, and the precipitated white crystals were collected by filtration and washed with cold acetone.
