The present invention relates to a method for producing α-keto acids or salts thereof. More preferably, dihydro-2.
The present invention relates to a novel method for producing the corresponding α-keto acid or its salt by alkaline hydrolysis of 3-furandione. α-keto acids contain various compounds, and are used for various purposes such as starting materials for α-amino acids, therapeutic agents for uremia and renal failure, intermediates for other agricultural chemicals, and raw materials for hair treatment agents. It is a useful compound. Conventionally known methods include (1) a method in which an amino acid oxidase acts on α-amino acids The Biochemical Journal. 50 , 258 (1951) Jof Biological Chemistry. 153 , 387 (1944) JP-A-52-114091 Bull, Chem; Soc, Japan. 31 , 665 (1958) (2) Method for reacting unsaturated hydantoin with aqueous solution of alkali metal hydroxide Encyclopedia of Chem.Technology. 11 ,

Methods are known, including (1) α-amino acid, (2) unsaturated hydantoin, and (3) hydantoin.
All of the cyanoacyl compounds (4) are expensive and difficult to obtain, and cannot be said to be an industrially advantageous manufacturing method. In addition, method (5) uses isobutyraldehyde, which is relatively easy to obtain, as a raw material, but the process is complicated, and since sodium cyanide is used, there are safety problems, and the yield is not good. In view of this situation, the present inventors conducted intensive studies on an industrially advantageous method for producing α-keto acids, and as a result, dihydro-2,3-furandione, which the present inventors had previously invented, The present invention was achieved by finding that α-keto acids can be easily obtained by alkaline hydrolysis. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an industrially useful α-keto acid or its salt in a high yield and in an industrially advantageous manner.

[Formula] As an example of the group, isopropyl group is most often used, but in addition, 2-pentyl group,
Examples include 3-pentyl group and 2-butyl group. Examples of α-keto acids produced by the method of the present invention include dimethylpyruvic acid, diethylpyruvic acid,
Examples include methylethylpyruvic acid and methylpropylpyruvic acid. In the present invention, commonly used alkalis such as caustic soda, caustic potash, calcium hydroxide, and magnesium hydroxide are used for hydrolysis.
In addition, as the mineral acid, inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid are used, and it is usually convenient to use hydrochloric acid and good results can be obtained. Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described. Dihydro-2,3-furandione is added to an alkaline aqueous solution while cooling while stirring, and then heated and hydrolyzed to produce an alkali salt of an α-keto acid. After removing and recovering by-produced aldehydes and aldols by means such as steam distillation, or if free α-keto acids are desired, acidifying them with mineral acid, and then using a solvent such as ether, ethyl acetate, or EDC. The target product can be obtained by methods such as extraction, crystallization, and distillation. Alkali is usually reacted as an aqueous solution, but alcohols, glycols, alkyl ethers,
Anisole, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane,
Depending on the object, better results may be obtained by using a solvent such as dioxolane, and in that case, it is necessary to make sure that more than the theoretical amount of water is present. Good results can be obtained by adding 0.5 to 5.0 mol, preferably 1.1 to 1.4 mol, of the alkali used for hydrolysis to 1 mol of raw material dihydro-2,3-furandione. Further, when the purpose is to obtain a free α-keto acid, the mineral acid to be added is preferably added in an amount of 0.5 to 10 mol, preferably 1.5 to 2.5 mol, per 1 mol of dihydro-2,3-furandione. Of course, the amount of alkali for hydrolysis is also related, and it is necessary to add more than the amount necessary to neutralize the excess alkali that did not participate in the hydrolysis. The suitable temperature for hydrolysis is 0 to 60℃, preferably 25℃.
Good results can be obtained by maintaining the temperature in the range of ~35°C. The present invention is a completely new method, and a product can be obtained in good yield through a simple reaction step of hydrolysis, and can be used industrially to advantage. The present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples below. Example 1 20 g of dihydro-5-isopropyl-4,4-dimethyl-2,3-furandione and 17 g of 35% sodium hydroxide were stirred and hydrolyzed at 30°C for 1.5 hours, and then acidified by adding 30 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid. . Quantitative values by gas chromatography showed that the production of dimethylpyruvic acid was 90%. This solution was extracted with 50 ml of ether, the ether layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the ether was distilled off and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 7.2 g of dimethylpyruvic acid with a boiling point of 70°C (10 mmHg). Examples 2 to 4 The raw materials shown in Table 1 were subjected to alkaline hydrolysis in the same manner as in Example 1, and the results shown in Table 1 were obtained.
