摘要:
A process for conveniently and efficiently producing a highly pure cinnamaldehyde derivative, for example, (2E)-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxy)cinnamaldehyde, which comprises reacting a benzaldehyde derivative, such as isovanillin and the like, with acetaldehyde in the presence of an alkali, in particular preferably, dropping acetaldehyde little by little thereto in an aqueous solution at a low temperature for the reaction thereof. The cinnamaldehyde derivative thus obtained is selectively reduced to produce 3-(3-hydroxy-4-substituted (with methoxy group or the like)phenyl) propionaldehyde. Further, through a reductive alkylation reaction of the compound thus produced with an aspartame, N-[N-[3-(3-hydroxy-4-substituted (with methoxy group or the like)phenyl) propyl]-L-α-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, which is useful as a sweetener having a high sweetening potency, can be industrially and efficiently produced. The processes therefor are also provided.

Low-calory sweeteners comprising novel aspartyl dipeptide ester derivatives and their salts have a sweetening potency of up to 35000 times that of sugar and include compounds such as N-[N-[3-(3-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl]-L-&agr;-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester and N-[N-[3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)propyl]-L-&agr;-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester.
摘要:
In the separation and purification of N-[N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-L-&agr;-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine methyl ester produced in the reductive alkylation of aspartame (APM) with 3,3-dimethylbutylaldehyde, the APM used in the starting material for the alkylation, which is difficult to be separated by recrystallization only from the crude crystals of the reaction product, can be separated and removed by extraction or solution thereof with the specified organic solvent from the concentrated reaction solution of the reductive alkylation or from the crude crystals of the product therefrom, and further N,N-di(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-APM as the by-product can be separated and removed by means for separation and purification, such as crystallization, chromatography, extraction, treatment with the activated charcoal, etc. As a result, N-[N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-L-&agr;-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine methyl ester which is a sweetener having a high degree of sweetness can be purified efficiently, and also the APM derivative in a high purity is possibly produced industrially.
