Description
Procédé de préparation de N-méthyl-a -phény1succinimide L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de prépa ration de la N-méthyl-a-phénylsuccinimide.
La N-méthyl-a-phénylsuccinimide est devenue ré cemment un produit de valeur pour le traitement de l'épilepsie petit mal. Selon le brevet U.S. No 2643258, ce produit peut être préparé à partir d'acide phényl- succinique ou d'anhydride phénylsuccinique par réac tion avec de la méthylamine et chauffage du produit résultant.
Ce procédé présente cependant le désa vantage qu'il exige l'emploi d'acide ou d'anhydride phénylsuccinique, qui sont tous deux des matières premières très coûteuses.
La présente invention vise à préparer la N- méthyl-a-phénylsuccinimide en partant de matières premières peu coûteuses et qu'il est facile de se procurer.
Selon l'invention, on fait réagir de l'anhydride phénylmaléique avec de la méthylamine à une tem pérature entre 80 et<B>1100C</B> en formant ainsi la N-méthyl-a-phénylmaléimide, et on réduit alors la double liaison aliphatique présente dans la N-méthyl- a-phénylmaléimide.
Pour effectuer la réaction entre l'anhydride phé- nylmaléique et la méthylamine, on emploie de pré férence un léger excès de méthylamine. La réaction peut être exécutée dans de l'eau, un solvant orga nique ou un mélange d'eau et d'un solvant organique miscible avec l'eau.
Comme solvants qui convien- nent, autres que l'eau, on peut citer les alcools ali phatiques inférieurs, tels que le méthanol, l'éthanol et l'isopropanol, les éthers cycliques tels que le dioxane, des esters, comme l'acétate d'éthyle, des mélanges aqueux de ces substances, etc. Au point de vue de la dépense, c'est l'eau qui constitue le sol vant préféré. La température que l'on préfère pour effectuer la réaction est de 95 à 1000 C. La réaction est très rapide ; elle est en général complète au bout d'une demi-heure à deux heures.
La réduction de la double liaison aliphatique de la N-méthyl-a-phénylmaléimide se fait de préférence en employant de l'hydrogène gazeux et un cataly seur .d'hydrogénation. Comme catalyseurs d'hydro génation, le nickel de Raney et les catalyseurs à métaux nobles comme l'oxyde de platine, donnent de particulièrement bons résultats. La réduction peut être effectuée à des températures entre 15 et 1000 C. La pression de l'hydrogène n'est pas particulièrement critique et peut varier de 1 atmosphère à 100 et plus.
On obtient de bons résultats avec des pressions d'hydrogène d'environ 21/2 à 6 atmosphères, et il n'est par conséquent pas nécessaire d'employer des pressions plus élevées. Comme solvants, on préfère des esters comme l'acétate d'éthyle, des alcools ali phatiques inférieurs comme le méthanol, l'éthanol, l'isopropanol, et des mélanges d'esters et d'alcools aliphatiques inférieurs.
L'exemple suivant sert à illustrer l'invention. <I>Exemple</I> Un mélange formé de 4 g d'anhydride phényl- maléique et de 3,5 ml de méthylamine aqueuse à 23 % est chauffé sur un bain de vapeur pendant une heure. On ajoute ensuite 10 ml d'eau froide, re froidit le mélange et recueille par filtration la N-méthyl-a-phénylmaléimide cherchée. Rendement 2 g ; P.F. 145-1470 C.
On ajoute 100 mg d'oxyde de platine comme ca talyseur d'hydrogénation, à une solution de 4 g de N-méthyl-a-phénylmaléimide dans 100 ml d'étha nol absolu et 100 ml d'acétate d'éthyle. Le mélange est secoué dans un vase clos avec de l'hydrogène gazeux sous une pression de 3,4 kg/cm2 jusqu'à ce que la quantité théorique d'hydrogène soit absorbée. Le vase est aéré, le catalyseur est enlevé par filtra tion et le filtrat est concentré jusqu'à un volume d'environ 15 ml.
Le liquide résiduaire est filtré, le filtrat est refroidi et l'on recueille la N-méthyl-a- phény1succinimide cherchée. Rendement 3 g ; P.F. 70-72 C.
On peut, si on le désire, remplacer les 100 mg de l'oxyde de platine catalyseur employé dans l'opé ration ci-dessus par environ 0,5 g de nickel de Ra- ney.
L'anhydride phénylmaléique employé comme l'une des matières premières pour mettre en oeuvre l'invention, peut être préparé à bon marché et aisément en faisant réagir ensemble de l'anhydride maléique, du benzène et du chlore en présence de lumière ultraviolette.
Process for preparing N-methyl-a-phenylsuccinimide The invention relates to a process for preparing N-methyl-a-phenylsuccinimide.
N-methyl-a-phenylsuccinimide has recently become a valuable product for the treatment of petit mal epilepsy. According to U.S. Patent No. 2643258, this product can be prepared from phenyl succinic acid or phenylsuccinic anhydride by reaction with methylamine and heating the resulting product.
However, this process has the disadvantage that it requires the use of phenylsuccinic acid or anhydride, both of which are very expensive raw materials.
The present invention aims to prepare N-methyl-α-phenylsuccinimide starting from inexpensive and readily available raw materials.
According to the invention, phenylmaleic anhydride is reacted with methylamine at a temperature between 80 and <B> 1100C </B>, thus forming N-methyl-a-phenylmaleimide, and the double aliphatic bond present in N-methyl-a-phenylmaleimide.
In order to effect the reaction between phenylmaleic anhydride and methylamine, a slight excess of methylamine is preferably employed. The reaction can be carried out in water, an organic solvent or a mixture of water and an organic solvent miscible with water.
As suitable solvents other than water, mention may be made of lower aliphatic alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol and isopropanol, cyclic ethers such as dioxane, esters, such as acetate. ethyl, aqueous mixtures of these substances, etc. From the point of view of expense, water is the preferred soil. The preferred temperature for carrying out the reaction is 95 to 1000 C. The reaction is very rapid; it is usually complete after half an hour to two hours.
The reduction of the aliphatic double bond of N-methyl-α-phenylmaleimide is preferably carried out by employing hydrogen gas and a hydrogenation catalyst. As hydrogenation catalysts, Raney nickel and noble metal catalysts such as platinum oxide give particularly good results. The reduction can be carried out at temperatures between 15 and 1000 C. The hydrogen pressure is not particularly critical and can vary from 1 atmosphere to 100 and more.
Good results are obtained with hydrogen pressures of about 21/2 to 6 atmospheres, and it is therefore not necessary to employ higher pressures. As solvents, esters such as ethyl acetate, lower aliphatic alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and mixtures of esters and lower aliphatic alcohols are preferred.
The following example serves to illustrate the invention. <I> Example </I> A mixture formed from 4 g of phenyl-maleic anhydride and 3.5 ml of 23% aqueous methylamine is heated on a steam bath for one hour. Then 10 ml of cold water are added, the mixture is cooled and the desired N-methyl-a-phenylmaleimide is collected by filtration. Yield 2 g; P.F. 145-1470 C.
100 mg of platinum oxide is added as a hydrogenation catalyst to a solution of 4 g of N-methyl-a-phenylmaleimide in 100 ml of absolute ethanol and 100 ml of ethyl acetate. The mixture is shaken in a closed vessel with hydrogen gas under a pressure of 3.4 kg / cm2 until the theoretical quantity of hydrogen is absorbed. The vessel is aerated, the catalyst is removed by filtration and the filtrate is concentrated to a volume of about 15 ml.
The residual liquid is filtered, the filtrate is cooled and the desired N-methyl-a-phenylsuccinimide is collected. Yield 3 g; M.P. 70-72 C.
It is possible, if desired, to replace the 100 mg of the catalyst platinum oxide employed in the above operation with about 0.5 g of Raney nickel.
Phenylmaleic anhydride, used as one of the raw materials for carrying out the invention, can be prepared inexpensively and easily by reacting maleic anhydride, benzene and chlorine together in the presence of ultraviolet light.
