The present invention relates to a method for producing α-halogeno-β-phenylpropionic acid, and more specifically to a method for producing α-halogeno-β-phenylpropionic acid by hydrolyzing α-halogeno-β-phenylpropionitrile. The present invention relates to a method for producing acid. α-halogeno-β-phenylpropionic acid is
For example, it can be easily derived into phenylalanine by amination with ammonia, so it is an extremely useful compound as an intermediate for the production of phenylalanine. As a method for producing α-halogeno-β-phenylpropionic acid, a method is known in which α-chloro-β-phenylpropionitrile is reacted with 85% formic acid and concentrated hydrochloric acid (AVDombrovskiy et al.;
Zhur. Obshchey Khim., 27 , 3346-9 (1957):
Ca 52 , 9019i (1958)). However, this method requires a long reaction time of 10 hours under intense reflux conditions. As a result of intensive research on the hydrolysis reaction of α-halogeno-β-phenylpropionitrile in an acidic aqueous solution, the present inventors found that α-halogeno-β-phenylpropionitrile
The present invention was completed based on the discovery that when phenylpropionitrile is hydrolyzed in the presence of a mineral acid and acetic acid or propionic acid, the reaction is completed extremely quickly under mild conditions. Therefore, the present invention provides α-halogeno-β-phenylpropionitrile, which is characterized by hydrolyzing α-halogeno-β-phenylpropionitrile in the presence of a mineral acid and acetic acid or a mineral acid and propionic acid.
A method for producing phenylpropionic acid is provided. α-halogeno-β-phenylpropionitrile used as a raw material in the method of the present invention is, for example,
The so-called Meerwein reaction of a benzenediazonium salt derived from aniline with acrylonitrile in the presence of cupric chloride
It can be easily produced by reaction. In the method of the present invention, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrobromic acid, etc. can be used as the mineral acid. The amount used is about 1 mol or more, preferably about 1.5 mol per mol of α-halogeno-β-phenylpropionitrile.
moles to about 10 moles. Furthermore, it is necessary that water be present in the reaction system in an amount greater than that required from the stoichiometry of the reaction. Usually, an amount of 1 to about 10 times the stoichiometric amount is used. The amount of acetic acid or propionic acid to be used is not particularly limited, but is preferably an amount that allows the raw material and the mineral acid to be uniformly dissolved. Usually α-halogeno-β-
The amount is about 10 mol to about 100 mol per mol of phenylpropionitrile. Acetic acid and propionic acid not only accelerate the reaction, but also serve as reaction solvents. The reaction temperature is approximately 30℃, as it is difficult to react at low temperatures, and the raw materials and products tend to decompose at high temperatures.
The temperature is preferably about 50°C to about 110°C.
The reaction time may vary depending on the reaction temperature, etc., but is usually about 30 minutes to about 8 hours. After completion of the reaction, the produced α-halogeno-β-phenylpropionic acid can be isolated and purified by known means. For example, by distilling off volatile components from the reaction mixture, extracting it with an organic solvent, washing the organic phase with water, drying, and distilling off the solvent, α-halogen-β-
Phenylpropionic acid can be obtained. According to the present invention, α-halogeno-β-phenylpropionic acid can be produced from α-halogeno-β-phenylpropionitrile in a very short time with good yield. At that time, almost no side reactions occur. The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these Examples. Example 1 α-chloro-α-phenylpropionitrile
4.97g (0.03mol) with 20ml of acetic acid and 9.12ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid
g (0.09 mol) and heated to 100°C with stirring.
Allowed time to react. After the reaction, the reaction solution was distilled and the residue was extracted with 50 ml of benzene. This benzene phase was washed twice with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then benzene was distilled off to obtain an oil. When this was left overnight at room temperature, it crystallized (obtained amount: 5.23 g, yield: 91.4%). This crystal was recrystallized from n-hexane to form α-chloro-β.
-4.81 g of crystals of phenylpropionic acid were obtained (yield: 86.8%). The melting point and elemental analysis values of the obtained crystals were as follows. Melting point 48-50℃ Elemental analysis value C 9 H 9 ClO 2 Theoretical value C 58.55 H 4.91 Cl 19.20 Experimental value C 58.37 H 4.81 Cl 19.31 Example 2 α-bromo-β-phenylpropionitrile
Add 40 ml of propionic acid and 9.12 g (0.09 mol) of concentrated hydrochloric acid to 6.30 g (0.03 mol), and add while stirring.
The reaction was carried out at 100°C for 1 hour. After the reaction, the reaction solution was distilled and the residue was extracted with 50 ml of benzene. This benzene phase was washed twice with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then benzene was distilled off to obtain 6.41 g of α-bromo-β-phenylpropionic acid as an oil (yield 93.20%). ). Elemental analysis value C 9 H 9 BrO 2 Theoretical value C 47.19 H 3.96 Br 34.88 Experimental value C 47.25 H 3.92 Br 34.69 Examples 3 to 5 α-chloro-β-phenylpropionitrile
Mineral acid or mineral acid and water and 20 ml of acetic acid were added to 2.0 g (12 mmol) and reacted at the temperature shown in Table 1 below and for the time shown in the same table. The reaction solution was treated according to Example 1 to obtain α-chloro-β-phenylpropionic acid in the yield shown in Table 1.
