  Verfahren zur Darstellung von     d,1-a-Tocopherol.       Es ist bekannt, dass man     alkylierte        2-Di-          alkyl-6-oxychromane    darstellen kann durch  Kondensation von     ss-Dialkylallylalkoholen     respektive     -allylhalogeniden    mit     alkylierten          Hydrochinonen,    die mindestens ein Wasser  stoffatom im     Benzalkern    tragen (siehe z. B.

    1     Ielvetica        Chimica    Acta     Bd.    21, 1938, S. 520;       Nature        Bd.    142, 1938, S. 36:     Helvetica        Chi-          mica    Acta.     Bd.    22, 1939, S. 337).  



  Es wurde nun gefunden, dass     Dialkyl-          äthinylcarbinole    und     alkylierte        Hydrochi-          none    mit mindestens einer unbesetzten Stelle    im Kern durch saure Kondensationsmittel zu       bicyclischen        Kondensationsprodukten.,        2-Di-          alkyl-6-oxychromenen-(3,4),    vereinigt wer  den.

   Diese Kondensationsprodukte nehmen  in Gegenwart eines geeigneten Katalysators,  wie     Palladiumkohle,        Palladium-calciumca.r-          bonat    oder Platinoxyd, leicht 1     Mol.    Wasser  stoff auf. Die hydrierten Produkte     stimmen     in ihren Eigenschaften mit den     2-Dialkyl-6-          oxychromanen    überein. Sie sollen als Arznei  mittel verwendet werden.  



  Die Umsetzung verläuft nach folgendem  Schema:  
EMI0001.0035     
      R, bedeutet Wasserstoff oder     Alkvl.    R' be  deutet     Alkyl.     



  Durch die bisher unbekannte Konden  sation von     1)ialkyläthinylcarbinolen    mit       alkylierten        Hydrochinonen,    welche minde  stens 1 Wasserstoffatom im     Benzolkern    tra  gen. wird eine neue Körperklasse. nämlich  die     2-Dialkyl-6-oxychromene-(3,4)        präpara-          tiv    leicht zugänglich. Die Hydrierung dieser  Kondensationsprodukte stellt ein neues Ver  fahren zur Darstellung von     6-Oxychroma-          nen    dar.  



  Gegenstand des vorliegenden Patentes ist  ein Verfahren zur Darstellung von     d,l-a-          Tocopherol,    welches dadurch     gekennzeichnet     ist, dass man     Trimethylhydrochinon    in Ge  genwart von sauren Kondensationsmitteln  auf     ?.6.10-        Trimethyl        -14-äthinyl    -     pentade-          canol-(14)    einwirken lässt und das ent  stehende     2,5,7,8-Tetramethyl-2-(4',8',12'-tri-          methyl    -     tridecyl)    -6 -     oxychromen-    (1,2) hy  driert.  



  <I>Beispiel:</I>  3 Teile     Trimethylhydrochinon,    2 Teile  wasserfreies Zinkchlorid und 10 Teile     De-          calin    werden unter Rühren und unter Einlei  ten von Kohlensäure auf 150   erhitzt. Man  tropft 6 Teile     2,6,10-Trimethyl-14-äthinyl-          pentadecanol-(14)    (dargestellt nach Fischer  und Löwenberg. Annalen der Chemie     Bd.    475,  1929. S. 195) zu und rührt darauf 2 Stunden  bei 150  .

   Nach dem Erkalten fügt man Was  ser und     Petroläther    vom Siedepunkt 50-70    zu,     wäscht    die     Petrolätherlösung    mit 1-n Na  tronlauge, 1-n Salzsäure und     Mrasser    und       trocknet    mit Natriumsulfat. Darauf     adsor-          biert    man die Lösung an eine Aluminium  oxydsäule und entwickelt das     Chromato-          gramm    mit viel     Petroläther.    An der Säule  entstehen 3 Zonen: eine schmale. braune  Oberschicht. eine graue Hauptzone und ein  gelber Ring.

   Man     eluiert    die graue Haupt-         zone    mit einer Mischung von Methylalkohol  und Äther (3 : 1) und verdampft das Lö  sungsmittel. Der Extrakt ist ein sehr oxy  dationsempfindliches, bräunliches 01, welches  neutrale     methylalkoholische        Silh(,rnitratlö-          sung    reduziert und bei der     thermischen    Zer  setzung ein     Sublimat    von     Durohydrochinon          abspaltet.     



  Dieser Extrakt der grauen Hauptzone  wird in der     10fachen    Menge Essigester gelöst  und in Gegenwart von     Palladiumkohle-Kata-          lysator    bei     Raumtemperatur    ohne Anwen  dung von Druck mit Wasserstoff geschüttelt,       wob(@i    1 11o1 Wasserstoff aufgenommen  wird.     Dlirauf    wird der Katalysator     abfil-          triert,    der Essigester verdampft, das hy  drierte Kondensationsprodukt in     Petroläther     vom Siedepunkt 50-70   gelöst und zur  Reinigung durch eine kleine     Magnesiumsul-          fatsäule    filtriert.

   Man     adsorbiert    das Filtrat  nun an eine     Aluminiumoxydsäule    und ent  wickelt das     Chromatogramm    mit viel     Petrol-          äther    vom Siedepunkt 50-70  . Die fast  farblose Hauptzone im obersten Teil der  Säule wird mit einer Mischung von Methyl  alkohol und Äther (3 : 1)     eluiert    und das  Lösungsmittel verdampft. Der Extrakt ist  ein gelbliches 01, n     2      = 1,506, das iden  tisch ist mit dem     d,1-a-Toaopherol        (Helvetica          Chimica    Acta     Bd.    21, 1938.

   S. 520). 5 mg  der Verbindung sind an der     Vitamin-E-frei     ernährten Ratte biologisch wirksam.



  Process for the preparation of d, 1-a-tocopherol. It is known that alkylated 2-dialkyl-6-oxychromanes can be prepared by condensation of ß-dialkylallyl alcohols or allyl halides with alkylated hydroquinones which have at least one hydrogen atom in the benzal nucleus (see, for example,

    1 Ielvetica Chimica Acta Vol. 21, 1938, p. 520; Nature Vol. 142, 1938, p. 36: Helvetica Chimica Acta. Vol. 22, 1939, p. 337).



  It has now been found that dialkylethinylcarbinols and alkylated hydroquinones with at least one vacant position in the core are combined by acidic condensation agents to form bicyclic condensation products, 2-dialkyl-6-oxychromenes- (3,4).

   In the presence of a suitable catalyst, such as palladium-carbon, palladium-calcium carbonate or platinum oxide, these condensation products easily absorb 1 mol of hydrogen. The hydrogenated products have the same properties as the 2-dialkyl-6-oxychromanes. They are intended to be used as medicinal products.



  The implementation proceeds according to the following scheme:
EMI0001.0035
      R means hydrogen or Alkvl. R 'is alkyl.



  The previously unknown condensation of 1) alkylethinyl carbinols with alkylated hydroquinones, which carry at least 1 hydrogen atom in the benzene nucleus, creates a new body class. namely the 2-dialkyl-6-oxychromene- (3,4) easily accessible preparatively. The hydrogenation of these condensation products represents a new process for the preparation of 6-oxychromans.



  The subject of the present patent is a process for the preparation of d, la-tocopherol, which is characterized in that trimethylhydroquinone is allowed to act on 6.10-trimethyl-14-äthinyl-pentadecanol- (14) in the presence of acidic condensing agents and the resulting 2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2- (4 ', 8', 12'-trimethyl-tridecyl) -6-oxychromen- (1,2) hydrogenated.



  <I> Example: </I> 3 parts of trimethylhydroquinone, 2 parts of anhydrous zinc chloride and 10 parts of decalin are heated to 150 while stirring and introducing carbonic acid. 6 parts of 2,6,10-trimethyl-14-äthinyl-pentadecanol- (14) (prepared according to Fischer and Löwenberg. Annalen der Chemie, Vol. 475, 1929, p. 195) are added dropwise and the mixture is then stirred at 150 for 2 hours.

   After cooling, what water and petroleum ether with a boiling point of 50-70 are added, the petroleum ether solution is washed with 1N sodium hydroxide solution, 1N hydrochloric acid and water and dried with sodium sulfate. The solution is then adsorbed on an aluminum oxide column and the chromatogram is developed with a lot of petroleum ether. There are 3 zones on the column: a narrow one. brown upper class. a gray main zone and a yellow ring.

   The main gray zone is eluted with a mixture of methyl alcohol and ether (3: 1) and the solvent is evaporated. The extract is a very oxidation-sensitive, brownish oil, which reduces neutral methyl alcoholic nitrate solution and splits off a sublimate of durohydroquinone during thermal decomposition.



  This extract from the gray main zone is dissolved in 10 times the amount of ethyl acetate and shaken with hydrogen in the presence of a palladium-carbon catalyst at room temperature without the use of pressure, whereby (@ 1 11o1 hydrogen is taken up. The catalyst is then filtered off, the ethyl acetate evaporates, the hydrogenated condensation product dissolved in petroleum ether with a boiling point of 50-70 and filtered through a small magnesium sulphate column for purification.

   The filtrate is then adsorbed on an aluminum oxide column and the chromatogram is developed with a lot of petroleum ether with a boiling point of 50-70. The almost colorless main zone in the uppermost part of the column is eluted with a mixture of methyl alcohol and ether (3: 1) and the solvent is evaporated. The extract is a yellowish 01, n 2 = 1.506, which is identical to the d, 1-a-toaopherol (Helvetica Chimica Acta Vol. 21, 1938.

   P. 520). 5 mg of the compound are biologically active on the rat fed without vitamin E.
