Description
Verfahren zur Darstellung von 1-Phenyl-2-methylamino-l-propanol. Die bisher bekannten Verfahren zur Dar stellung von 1-Phenyl-.2-methylamino-l-pro- panol durch katalytische Reduktion von 1- Phenyl-1,2-propandion in Gegenwart von Methylamin (vergleiche Skita und Keil, Zeit schrift für angewandte Chemie, 1929, Seite 501, und Manske und Johnson, Journal of the Amer. Chem. Soe., 51.
580) benutzen ausschliesslich Metalle der Platingruppe in kolloidaler oder anderer feinverteilter Form als Katalysatoren.
Es wurde nun überraschenderweise ge funden, dass sich die Reduktion zum Phenyl- methylaminopropanol mit;- sehr guter Aus beute durch nicht katalytisch wirkende Re duktionsmittel ausführen lässt. Gemäss vor liegendem Verfahren wird zu dieser Reduk tion vorzugsweise aaszierender Wasserstoff, insbesondere solcher, der durch Einwirkung aktivierten Aluminiums auf Wasser, oder von Zink auf schweflige Säure entstanden ist; verwendet.
Gegenüber den bekannten Verfahren be deutet diese Reduktionsmethode sowohl eine wesentliche Verbilligung, als auch eine Ver einfachung des Reduktionsverfahrens unter Umgehung der bekannterweise für technische Zwecke kostspieligen Katalysatoren, deren praktisch sehr langwierige Regeneration naturgemäss mit erheblichen Verlusten und Kosten verbunden ist. Ausserdem erlaubt das neue Verfahren eine glatte Reduktion unter völlig milden und normalen Bedingungen, was für diese Reaktion von ausschlaggeben der Bedeutung ist.
<I>Beispiel 1:</I> 15 gr Phenylpropandion werden in 25'0 ccm einer ätherischen Methylaminlösung, enthaltend 3,4 gr Methylamin, gelöst. Unter Kühlung trägt man 32 gr aktiviertes Alumi nium ein. Im Verlaufe von 3 bis 5 Stunden lässt man 30 gr Wasser eintropfen, wobei der Äther in gelindem Sieden bleibt.
Nach Auf- hören der Wasserstoffentwicklung wird von demt gebildeten Aluminiumhydrozyd abfil- triert und die farblose ätherische Lösung, nach wiederholter Extraktion des Rückstan des mit verdünnter Salzsäure ausgeschüttelt oder die Base mit gasförmiger Salzsäure als Chlorhydrat gefällt.
Durch Kristallisation aus Alkohol erhält man das Chlorhydrat des Phenylmethyl- aminopropanols (inaktives Ephedrin) vom Smp. 135 bis 186 in sehr guter Ausbeute. .Beispiel <I>2:</I> 9,4 gr Methylamin, in 100 cm' Methyl alkohol gelöst, werden mit einer Lösung von 9,6 gr schwefliger Säure in 250 cm' Methyl alkohol vermischt und unter gutem Umrühren mit 30 gr Zinkstaub versetzt.
Das Gemisch wird unter Rückfluss zum Sieden erhitzt. Im Verlaufe von 11/2 Stunden lässt man 29;6 gr Phenylpropandion, in 1.00 cm' Methylalkohol gelöst, eintropfen. Gleichzeitig werden 16 gr schweflige Säure in 300 cms Wasser und noch weitere<B>30</B> gr Zinkstaub in kleinen An teilen zugegeben.
Nach beendeter Reduktion wird die hell gelb gefärbte Lösung von dem Bodensatz ge trennt, salzsauer gemacht und der Methyl alkohol unter vermindertem Druck abdestil- liert. Es hinterbleibt eine wässerige Lösung, welche zur Entfernung von nichtbasischen Anteilen ausgeäthert wird. Auf Zusatz von Alkali fällt die freie Base aus. Das erhaltene dl-Ephedrin destilliert un ter 1,8 mm bei 1,43 bis 146 und erstarrt in der Vorlage zu einer festen, weissen Masse. Der Schmelzpunkt des Hydrochlorids liegt bei 1$15 bis 1,8,6 .
Das Endprodukt des Verfahrens soll selbst als Heilmittel oder als Zwischenpro dukt zur Herstellung von Arzneimitteln Verwendung finden.
Process for the preparation of 1-phenyl-2-methylamino-1-propanol. The previously known processes for the presentation of 1-phenyl-.2-methylamino-l-propanol by catalytic reduction of 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione in the presence of methylamine (compare Skita and Keil, Zeitschrift für angewandte Chemie) , 1929, p. 501, and Manske and Johnson, Journal of the Amer. Chem. Soe., 51.
580) exclusively use platinum group metals in colloidal or other finely divided form as catalysts.
It has now been found, surprisingly, that the reduction to phenylmethylaminopropanol can be carried out with very good yield by reducing agents that do not act catalytically. According to the present process, this reduction is preferably carried out using aascent hydrogen, in particular hydrogen formed by the action of activated aluminum on water, or of zinc on sulphurous acid; used.
Compared to the known processes, this reduction method signifies both a substantial reduction in price and a simplification of the reduction process by bypassing the catalysts, which are known to be expensive for technical purposes and whose regeneration is, of course, associated with considerable losses and costs. In addition, the new process allows a smooth reduction under completely mild and normal conditions, which is of crucial importance for this reaction.
<I> Example 1: </I> 15 grams of phenylpropandione are dissolved in 25.0 cc of an ethereal methylamine solution containing 3.4 grams of methylamine. While cooling, you enter 32 grams of activated aluminum. In the course of 3 to 5 hours, 30 grams of water are allowed to drip in, the ether remaining at a gentle boil.
After the evolution of hydrogen has ceased, the aluminum hydroxide formed is filtered off and the colorless ethereal solution, after repeated extraction of the residue, is extracted with dilute hydrochloric acid or the base is precipitated as hydrochloric acid with gaseous hydrochloric acid.
Crystallization from alcohol gives the chlorohydrate of phenylmethylaminopropanol (inactive ephedrine) with a melting point of 135 to 186 in very good yield. Example <I> 2: </I> 9.4 g of methylamine, dissolved in 100 cm 'of methyl alcohol, are mixed with a solution of 9.6 g of sulphurous acid in 250 cm' of methyl alcohol and mixed with 30 g Zinc dust added.
The mixture is heated to boiling under reflux. In the course of 11/2 hours, 29.6 g of phenylpropandione, dissolved in 1.00 cm of methyl alcohol, are added dropwise. At the same time, 16 grams of sulphurous acid in 300 cms of water and a further <B> 30 </B> grams of zinc dust are added in small portions.
When the reduction is complete, the pale yellow colored solution is separated from the sediment, made hydrochloric acid and the methyl alcohol is distilled off under reduced pressure. An aqueous solution remains, which is etherified to remove non-basic components. The free base precipitates on addition of alkali. The dl-ephedrine obtained distills below 1.8 mm at 1.43 to 146 and solidifies in the original to a solid, white mass. The melting point of the hydrochloride is $ 15 to 1,8,6.
The end product of the process is intended to be used as a remedy or as an intermediate product for the manufacture of drugs.
