Description
A PROCESS FOR THE OXIDATION OF FATTY ACIDS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION/8
The present invention relates to a process for the oxidation of fatty acids. Particularly, the present invention relates to a process for the oxidation of oleic acid to afford azelaic acid.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART OF THE INVENTION
Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid produced by Malassezia furfur and found in whole grain cereals, rye, barley and animal products. Azelaic acid possesses antibacterial, keratolytic, comedolytic, and anti-oxidant activity. Azelaic acid is bactericidal against Proprionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis due to its inhibitory effect on the synthesis of microbial cellular proteins. Azelaic acid exerts its keratolytic and comedolytic effects by reducing the thickness of the stratum corneum and decreasing the number of keratohyalin granules by reducing the amount and distribution of filaggrin in epidermal layers. Azelaic acid also possesses a direct anti-inflammatory effect due to its scavenger activity of free oxygen radical. This drug is used topically to reduce inflammation associated with acne and rosacea.
Azelaic acid is conventionally synthesized in batch mode through oxidation of oleic acid with various oxidizing agents’ viz. H2O2, ozone, acetic anhydride etc. in the presence of a catalyst and solvent. Using ozone forces the reaction to be carried out at -78 °C over very long time. Article titled“Preparation, characterization, and theoretical studies of Azelaic acid derived from oleic acid by use of a novel Ozonolysis method” by Bilal Biswas et al. published in Research on Chemical Intermediates, 2012, 38(2):659-668 reports azelaic acid has been produced by Ozonolysis of oleic acid. The reaction was performed in a Batch bubbling reactor, with fine bubbles, at high temperature (150°C) without utilizing any catalyst or any solvent. Yield of the reaction was 20% after 2h. Production of azelaic acid was confirmed by use of FT- IR and 1H NMR spectroscopic data and high-performance liquid chromatography of both synthesized and reference Azelaic acid.
Article titled“Synthesis of azelaic acid from oleic acid with green oxidant H2O2 / H2WO4” by Zuhrina Masyithah et al. published in ARPN Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, 2017, Vol. 12, No. 24 reports The synthesis of Azelaic acid was carried out by oxidizing oleic acid (OA) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an oxidizer and tungstic acid (H2WO4) as a catalyst. This study was conducted to determine the correlation and significance of the effect
of variable comparison to the resulting percent conversion of Iodine Number as well as to develop a more effective, selective and environmentally friendly process with HiC /thWC as oxidizer. The interactions effect of substrate mole ratio, percent catalyst, and temperature were observed to obtain maximum yield of azelaic acid by utilizing the Central Composite Design (CCD) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The results showed that all variables influenced the percent conversion of Iodine Number expressed by the value of coefficient of determination (R2 ) of 92.08% and the results of variance analysis showed that all models contribute significantly to the percent conversion resulted. The oxidative cleavage reaction was evidenced by the decrease of iodine number and the product of the reaction was analyzed by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The largest decrement of iodine number was recorded 99.12% and it was obtained on variation of substrate mole ratio of 1: 8 (OA/H2O2), 3% (wH2W04/wt. OA) catalyst at temperature of 70 °C. From the results of biocompatibility analysis, the process of synthesis of azelaic acid is eco-friendly because the waste generated is environmentally friendly and the catalyst used can be recycled.
Prior arts disclose the oxidation of fatty acids with very long reaction time and with less yield. So, there is need to develop a process for the oxidation of fatty acids with less reaction time, recoverable or no catalyst and with high yield.
