Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain LD-carnitined which is a raw material for producing L- carnitine useful as a fatty acid metabolic promoter and component in transfusion solutions, by reacting crotonobetaine with D-carnitine or an acid addition salt thereof and basic substance. CONSTITUTION:Crotonobetaine or D-carnitine or an acid addition salt thereof is reacted with a basic substance in a solvent, e.g. water or a 1-4C hydrous lower alcohol, at 0 deg.C- boiling point of a solvent, preferably at 50-80 deg.C in the case of the water used as the solvent for 1-10 hr to afford the aimed substance. The basic substance is preferably an alkali metal hydroxide, e.g. NaOH, basic ion exchange resin, e.g. Diaion PA series, etc., and the concentration in the reaction solution is preferably 35-60% (wt./vol.).

Conventional technology L-carnitine can finally be obtained by optically resolving DL-carnitine or its precursors such as nitriles and amides (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 55-13299, Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 4)
0-3891. Special Publication No. 47-63291>. Regarding the racemization method of D-carnitine which is produced as a by-product in this process, it is described in JP-A-55-13299 that D-carnitinamide hydrochloride is DL-carnitine hydrochloride in concentrated hydrochloric acid at 100°C for 60 hours. Only a method for converting to carnitine hydrochloride is shown. However, this method is considered unsuitable as an industrial production method because it must be induced into D-carnitinamide, requires harsh reaction conditions, and requires expensive acid-resistant equipment. It will be done.
