The stirring is generally carried, out for 1 to 24 hr, preferably 2 to 15 hr.
- The 0.5 hydrate is a stable and block-like crystal superior in filtration property relative to the non-hydrate being a micaceous crystal. Hence, with the 0.5 hydrate, the filtration step and washing step can be advantageously carried out in a short time, leaving much less amount of the tertiary amine.
- The crystallization of the 0.5 hydrate can be facilitated by using seed crystals of the 0.5 hydrate.
- The precipitated crystals are collected by filtration to obtain 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid 0.5 hydrate.

After the completion of the addition, triethylamine was added thereto to adjust the pH to 6.0, and the mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 12 hr. A part of the precipitated crystals was separately collected by filtration. The crystal was confirmed to be 0.5 hydrate based on the water content measurement of the crystal.
- To 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid 0.5 hydrate (1 g), a solvent (0.5 g) was added as shown in Table 1, and the mixture was stirred well, followed by drying under reduced pressure of 1 kPa, at 22° C. for 1 hr. Then, the water content in the samples was measured by KF method. The results are shown in Table 1.
- The term “conversion rate” herein means a rate at which 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid 0.5 hydrate is converted into 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid non-hydrate. The conversion rate (0%-100%) is calculated according to the following formula, using 8.2% which is the water content of 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid 0.5 hydrate as a reference:
- Conversion rate (%)={8.2%-water content (%)/8.2%}×100
-
TABLE 1 water content solvent (KF method) conversion rate none 8.2% — Example 5 methanol 4.6% 43% Example 6 ethanol 5.1% 38% Comparative toluene 8.1% 1% Example 1 Comparative hexane 8.1% 1% Example 2 Comparative heptane 8.5% 0% Example 3 Comparative acetone 8.2% 0% Example 4 Comparative acetonitrile 8.0% 2% Example 5 Comparative ethyl acetate 8.2% 0% Example 6 - The structure of a crystal of 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid 0.5 hydrate was confirmed by X-RAY diffraction (XRD). After spraying methanol on the 0.5 hydrate, a flow of nitrogen gas was used to observe how the crystal structure changes as time passes.
FIGS. 1 to 3 show XRD data. Immediately after the gas flow was started, transition of crystal structure to the non-hydrate was initiated, and the crystal was confirmed to have converted almost entirely to non-hydrate after eight minutes of the nitrogen gas flow. - To 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid 0.5 hydrate (0.5 g) was added methanol (4.5 g, water content 58 ppm), and the mixture was stirred at 30° C. for 30 min. The water content of the supernatant methanol was measured by KF method, and the reading was 0.88% (i.e., 96.7% of the water content in the 0.5 hydrate).
- According to the present invention, 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid 0.5 hydrate can be obtained in simple process from 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid hydrochloride. Moreover, 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid non-hydrate being a plant growth regulator can be easily obtained by contacting with a C1-C2 alcohol.
