摘要:
The invention relates to a method for the preparation of an .alpha.,.alpha.-disubstituted .alpha.-amino alcohol from the corresponding amide with the aid of sodium in the presence of an alcohol as solvent. The conversion of amino acid amide to amino alcohol proceeds virtually quantitatively. Moreover, the reduction of the amino acid amide to the corresponding amino alcohol proceeds with retention of optical activity.

The invention relates to a process for preparing optically active methionine amide in high ee purities in which a mixture of D- and L-methionine amide or the Schiff bases thereof is at least partly converted, optionally in the presence of 0.5-4 equivalents of an aldehyde, relative to the amount of methionine amide, and water, in the presence of an organic solvent, using less than 1.2 equivalents of L- or D-mandelic acid, respectively, relative to the amount of D- or L-methionine amide, respectively, or the Schiff bases thereof, present in the mixture of D- and L-methionine amide or the Schiff bases thereof, into a salt of methionine amide and mandelic acid, a portion consisting substantially of one of the diastereoisomers of the salt is separated from the reaction mixture obtained, and the salt is converted into the optically active methionine. A high degree of optical purity is obtained. This process can be advantageously combined with a preparation of D,L-methionine amide from D,L-methionine nitrile by returning the residual methionine amide obtained after separation of the diastereomeric salt and recovery of the mandelic acid to the preparation of D,L-methionine amide where racemization of the recycled methionine amide takes place in situ. A high overall efficiency can thus obtained in spite of a relatively low efficiency of conversion into the diastereoisomeric salt, relative to the amount of D- and L-methionine amide, or the Schiff bases thereof, used.

A process is disclosed for preparing an (S)-2-amino-&ohgr;-oxoalkanoic acid derivative in which the corresponding aldehyde is converted into the corresponding acetal-protected aldehyde, the acetal-protected aldehyde is converted into the corresponding aminonitrile, the aminonitrile is converted into the corresponding amino acid amide, the amino acid amide is subjected to an enzymatic, enantioselective hydrolysis in which the (R)-enantiomer of the amino acid amide remains and the (S)-enantiomer is converted into the (S)-amino acid, and the (S)-amino acid is isolated. Preferably,the reaction mixture obtained after the conversion of the aminonitrile into the amino acid amide is treated with a benzaldehyde to form the Schiff base of the amino acid amide. The Schiff base is separated out and is converted into the free amino acid amide.

摘要:
Process for the recovery of ampicillin from a mixture containing ampicillin and 6-aminopenicillic acid (6-APA), in which a mixture of ampicillin and 6-APA, with a pH higher than 7, which apart from any solid ampicillin being present is homogeneous at a pH between 7 and 8.5, is subjected to a pH lowering till a pH lower than 8.2 is reached, and the solid substance present is recovered. The process is in particular suitable to be applied to the reaction mixture which is obtained after the enzymatic acylation reaction of 6-APA with a phenylglycidine derivative as acylation agent. Pure ampicillin can thus be recovered in a simple way.
摘要:
Ampicillin is produced in a batch process by enzymatic acylation of 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) with the aid of phenylglycine derivative such as D-phenylglycine amide. High conversions of phenylglycine derivative may be achieved by having the total concentration in the reaction mixture of 6-APA and ampicillin greater than 250 mM and the molar ration of total quantity of phenylglycine derivative to total quantity of 6-APA less than 2.5. Higher yields of ampicillin may be achieved when the amount of dissolved 6-APA is kept low, e.g. below 300 mM.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for the esterification of an amino acid or peptide in which the amino acid or peptide is converted into the corresponding ester in the presence of a hydrosulphate have the general formula ROSO3H, where R represents an alkyl group, with the hydrosulphate being prepared, in the presence of the amino acid or peptide, from chlorosulphonic acid and an alcohol having the general formula ROH, where R has the same meaning as above. The chlorosulphonic acid to amino acid or peptide molar ratio preferably is between 0.8 and 2.0, in particular between 1.0 and 1.3. A primary alcohol, in particular methanol, is preferably used as alcohol. The amino acid used may be for example an &agr;-amino acid chosen from the group comprising p-hydroxyphenylglycine, phenylglycine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, proline and valine; L-alanyl-L-proline or an ester of L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine, for example, may be used as peptide.

Process for the preparation of a 1,5-benzothiazepine derivative, or a salt thereof, of formula 1 ##STR1## where R1 represents H, an alkyl group or an alkoxy group and R.sub.2 represents H or a halogen, in which process a propanoic acid derivative of formula 2 ##STR2## where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above and R.sub.3 represents H or an alkyl group is subjected to an intramolecular cyclisation reaction in a non-halogenated solvent in the presence of a carboxylic acid. Preferably, R.sub.2 is H and R.sub.1 is OCH.sub.3. Trichloroacetic acid is preferably used as .alpha.-chlorinated acid. The benzothiazepine obtained on cyclisation can be subjected to an alkylation reaction and/or an acylation reaction to obtain known pharmaceutical products, in particular diltiazem.
