摘要:
Mixture containing .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester and 3-benzyl-6-carboxymethyl-2,5-dioxopiperazine are brought into contact with hydrochloric acid in an aqueous solvent to precipitate .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride and 3-benzyl-6-carboxymethyl-2,5-dioxopiperazine, which are then separated from each other by classification.
摘要:
A process for producing efficiently glutamic acid derivatives (including salts thereof) such as monatin is described. This process entails converting a substituted α-keto acid of formula (1) into a glutamic acid derivative of formula (2) in the presence of an enzyme catalyzing conversion of the same.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for producing efficiently glutamic acid derivatives (including salts thereof) such as monatin by converting a substituted α-keto acid of formula (1) into a glutamic acid derivative of formula (2) in the presence of an enzyme catalyzing conversion of the same.
摘要:
By simultaneously carrying out an isomerization reaction at position 2 of monatin in different configurations at positions 2 and 4 in the presence of an aldehyde under a condition of pH 4 to 11 in a mixture solvent of water and an organic solvent, and the crystallization of monatin in the same configurations at positions 2 and 4 or a salt thereof, monatin useful as a sweetener, particularly optically active monatin can efficiently be produced.
摘要:
A crystal of free (2R,4R)-monatin is useful as a sweet substance. The crystals resist absorption of water even under high humidity, are stable and exhibit a high degree of sweetness. Thus, such crystals may used as a sweetening agent or an ingredient thereof, and as an ingredient for imparting sweetness to foods and beverages.
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-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.
摘要:
N-[N-[3-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl]-L-α-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester is prepared by a process comprising: subjecting Aspartame and 3-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionaldehyde or derivatives thereof to reductive alkylation in a solvent to produce N-[N-[3-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl]-L-α-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester; and crystallizing said compound.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a 3-substituted-phenyl-3-merthylbutyric acid and 3-substituted-phenyl-3-merthylaldehyde derivatives, which are useful in the production of N-[N-[3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methylbutyl]-L-α-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, which is a sweetener with high sweetening potency.
摘要:
There is provided a process for purification of N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-&agr;-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester comprising the step of contacting impure N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-&agr;-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester containing at least &agr;-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester as an impurity, with the mixed solvents having two layers of one layer given from at least one organic solvent which does not mix with water homogeneously and one layer of water to extract N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-&agr;-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester in the organic solvent layer. In the present invention, the desired compound can be purified or recovered efficiently in a high yield without using burdensome steps or operations.
