Description

Oppfinnelsen vedrører en ny fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av indoler ved dekarboksylering av tilsvarende indol-2-karboksylsyrer. The invention relates to a new method for producing indoles by decarboxylation of corresponding indole-2-carboxylic acids.

Indol-2-karboksylsyrer dekarboksyleres vanligvis ved at en oppløsning derav i et høytkokende tertiært amin varmes opp inntil tilbakeløp (jf. f.eks. Houben-Weyl/Muller, Methoden der organischen Chemie; 1952, bind 8, s. 486). Indole-2-carboxylic acids are usually decarboxylated by heating a solution thereof in a high-boiling tertiary amine to reflux (cf. e.g. Houben-Weyl/Muller, Methoden der organischen Chemie; 1952, vol. 8, p. 486).

Således ble 4-(5-metoksy-3-indolyl)-smørsyren (I), et mellomprodukt for syntesen av roksindol, tidligere fremstilt ved 24-timers oppvarming av en oppløsning av 3-(3-karboksy-propyl)-5-metoksyindol-2-karboksylsyre (II) i N,N-dimetyl-anilin eller N,N-dietylanilin til 190°C. Thus, 4-(5-methoxy-3-indolyl)-butyric acid (I), an intermediate for the synthesis of roxindole, was previously prepared by heating a solution of 3-(3-carboxy-propyl)-5-methoxyindole for 24 hours -2-carboxylic acid (II) in N,N-dimethylaniline or N,N-diethylaniline to 190°C.

Det er da uheldig med den høye reaksjonstemperaturen som bringer med seg apparaturproblemer og bare tillater en produksjon i små anlegg, samt den lange reaksjonsvarighet og dermed et høyt energiforbruk. It is then unfortunate that the high reaction temperature brings with it equipment problems and only allows production in small plants, as well as the long reaction duration and thus a high energy consumption.

Til grunn for oppfinnelsen lå den oppgave å finne frem til en ny fremstillingsfremgangsmåte for indoler, særlig I som ikke, eller bare i lite omfang, oppviser den nevnte ulempe. The invention was based on the task of finding a new production method for indoles, especially I which does not, or only to a small extent, exhibit the aforementioned disadvantage.

Det ble funnet at man ved oppvarming av en oppløsning av II i maursyre får I i høyere utbytte. Det er for såvidt overraskende etter som indoler generelt anses for å være svært labil overfor syrer. Dette viste seg også ved forsøk på å erstatte maursyre med andre syrer, som eddiksyre, fortynnet vandig svovelsyre eller fortynnet vandig saltsyre. Det skjedde enten slett ingen omsetning eller I oppstod bare i lavt utbytte under dannelse av biprodukter. It was found that by heating a solution of II in formic acid, I is obtained in higher yield. This is somewhat surprising as indoles are generally considered to be very labile towards acids. This was also shown by attempts to replace formic acid with other acids, such as acetic acid, dilute aqueous sulfuric acid or dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid. There was either no turnover at all or I only occurred in low yield during the formation of by-products.

Fremgangsmåten lar seg overføre til andre indol-2-karboksylsyrer med godt resultat. The method can be transferred to other indole-2-carboxylic acids with good results.

Gjenstand for oppfinnelsen er en fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av indoler ved dekarboksylering av tilsvarende indol-2-karboksylsyrer, kjennetegnet ved at man behandler disse med maursyre. The subject of the invention is a method for producing indoles by decarboxylation of corresponding indole-2-carboxylic acids, characterized by treating these with formic acid.

Ved denne fremgangsmåten anvender man maursyre som hensiktsmessig kan inneholde ca. 0-50 % vann. Reaksjons-temperaturene ligger mellom 20 og 107°C, fortrinnsvis mellom 80 og 107°C. Ved de høyere temperaturer bruker man reaksjons-tider mellom ca. 1 og 10 timer, fortrinnsvis mellom 2 og 4 timer, ved de lavere temperaturer tilsvarende lengre tider. In this method, formic acid is used, which can appropriately contain approx. 0-50% water. The reaction temperatures are between 20 and 107°C, preferably between 80 and 107°C. At the higher temperatures, reaction times between approx. 1 and 10 hours, preferably between 2 and 4 hours, at the lower temperatures corresponding to longer times.

Ved de nedenfor angitte prosentangivelser dreier det seg om volumprosenter. The percentages stated below refer to volume percentages.

Eksempel 1 Example 1

En blanding av 14,2 g II og 120 g 77,4 %-ig maursyre ble kokt i 3 timer og så inndampet under redusert trykk. Det ble tilsatt fortynnet natronlut, klaret kortvarig med aktivt karbon ved 40°C og utfelt med saltsyre inntil pH 1,5. Det ut-felte I ble frafiltrert, vasket med vann og tørket under redusert trykk ved 50°C. Utbytte: 10,9 g. A mixture of 14.2 g of II and 120 g of 77.4% formic acid was boiled for 3 hours and then evaporated under reduced pressure. Diluted caustic soda was added, clarified briefly with activated carbon at 40°C and precipitated with hydrochloric acid until pH 1.5. The precipitated I was filtered off, washed with water and dried under reduced pressure at 50°C. Yield: 10.9 g.

Eksempel 2 Example 2

Det ble arbeidet som angitt i eksempel 1, men med 100 %-ig maursyre og benyttet en reaksjonstid på 2 timer. The work was carried out as indicated in example 1, but with 100% formic acid and a reaction time of 2 hours was used.

Eksempel 3 Example 3

Det ble arbeidet som angitt i eksempel 1, men med 50 %-ig maursyre. Reaksjonstid: 5 timer. The work was carried out as indicated in example 1, but with 50% formic acid. Reaction time: 5 hours.

Eksempel 4 Example 4

Det ble arbeidet som angitt i eksempel 1, men ved 80°C. Reaksjonstid: 30 timer. The work was carried out as indicated in example 1, but at 80°C. Reaction time: 30 hours.

Eksempel 5 Example 5

Analogt med eksempel 1 fikk man indol fra indol-2-karboksylsyre. Analogous to example 1, indole was obtained from indole-2-carboxylic acid.
