Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung von Purin Gegenstand des Patents 1150 988 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Purin, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß Salze oder Acylderivate des a-Aminoacetonitrils mit Trisformaminomethan, Formamidinacetat oder Formamid bei erhöhter Temperatur umgesetzt werden.Process for the production of purine The subject of patent 1150 988 is a process for the production of purine, which is characterized in that salts or acyl derivatives of α-aminoacetonitrile are reacted with trisformaminomethane, formamidine acetate or formamide at elevated temperature.

In Abänderung dieses Verfahrens wurde nun gefunden, daß man in einfacher Weise Purin erhält, wenn man an Stelle des dort eingesetzten Derivates von oc-Aminoacetonitril Methyleniminoacetonitril mit Trisformaminomethan, Formamidinacetat oder Formamid unter Verwendung eines organischen Lösungsmittels in Gegenwart eines sauren Katalysators bei einer Temperatur zwischen 80 und 200°C, vorzugsweise bei 120 bis 180°C, umsetzt.Modifying this procedure has now been found to be easier Wise purine is obtained if instead of the derivative of oc-aminoacetonitrile used there Methyleniminoacetonitrile with trisformaminomethane, formamidine acetate or formamide using an organic solvent in the presence of an acidic catalyst at a temperature between 80 and 200 ° C, preferably at 120 to 180 ° C, is reacted.

Als Lösungsmittel eignen sich Säureamide, z. B. Formamid und Dimethylformamid, Carbonsäuren, insbesondere Eisessig, und Alkohole, wie Propanol, Butanol, Amylalkohole und Glykolmonoalkyläther, z. B. Glykolmonomethyläther. Das Verfahren gemäß der Erfindung wird zweckmäßig in der Weise durchgeführt, daß man im Rahmen der oben gegebenen Definition des Verfahrens die Schiffsche Base zusammen mit der Formylierungskomponente in Gegenwart eines Lösungsmittels, gegebenenfalls eines Lösungsmittelgemisches, wie Säureamid und Alkohol, unter Zugabe eines sauren Katalysators, wie Schwefelsäure, umsetzt.Acid amides are suitable as solvents, e.g. B. formamide and dimethylformamide, Carboxylic acids, especially glacial acetic acid, and alcohols such as propanol, butanol, amyl alcohols and glycol monoalkyl ethers, e.g. B. glycol monomethyl ether. The method according to the invention is expediently carried out in such a way that one within the scope of the above Definition of the process the Schiff base together with the formylation component in the presence of a solvent, optionally a solvent mixture, such as acid amide and alcohol, with the addition of an acidic catalyst such as sulfuric acid, implements.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren stellt eine erhebliche Verbesserung der in »Angewandte Chemie«, Bd. 73, 21. Januar 1961, S. 63, referierten Arbeitsweise des Hauptpatents dar. Es ist nämlich möglich, das als Ausgangsstoff benötigte Methyleniminoacetonitril in nicht beanspruchter Weise durch einfaches Zusammengeben von Formamid, Ammonchlorid und Natriumcyanid in Ausbeuten von etwa 70 °/o herzustellen, während die Darstellung der acylierten Aminoacetonitrile zusätzlich noch zwei weitere Reaktionsstufen erfordert. Zu ihrer Darstellung muß das Methyleniminoacetonitril in alkoholischer Lösung in Gegenwart von Säure, z. B. Schwefelsäure, gespalten und das auf diese Weise in etwa 65°/oiger Ausbeute entstandene Salz, z. B. das Sulfat des Aminoacetonitrils, nach bekannten Methoden in alkalischer Lösung mit Säurechlorid acetyliert werden. Die auf das Methyleniminoacetonitrit bezogene Ausbeute an Purin liegt also für das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wesentlich höher als bei der Verwendung von acyliertem Aminoacetonitril.The method according to the invention represents a considerable improvement the working method reported in "Angewandte Chemie", Vol. 73, January 21, 1961, p. 63 of the main patent. It is possible to use the methyleniminoacetonitrile required as a starting material in a manner not claimed by simply adding formamide and ammonium chloride together and to produce sodium cyanide in yields of about 70% during the preparation the acylated aminoacetonitrile also requires two further reaction stages. For their representation, the methyleniminoacetonitrile must be in alcoholic solution in Presence of acid, e.g. B. sulfuric acid, split and in this way roughly 65% yield resulting salt, e.g. B. the sulfate of aminoacetonitrile, after known methods are acetylated in alkaline solution with acid chloride. the based on the methyleniminoacetonitrite yield of purine is therefore for that according to the invention Process significantly higher than when using acylated aminoacetonitrile.

Weiterhin ist es überraschend, daß Methyleniminoacetonitril an Stelle von acyliertem Aminoacetonitril zur Purinsynthese verwendet werden kann. Das Methyleniminoacetonitril liegt als trimere Verbindung, d. h. als hydriertes Triazinderivat vor. Entsprechende tertiäre Amine, wie N,N-dialkylierte Aminoacetonitrile, reagieren jedoch nicht mit Trisformaminomethan und Formamid. Unter der Annahme, daß bei dem Verfahren gemäß der Erfindung durch die Gegenwart von Säure primär eine Spaltung zum Aminoacetonitril erfolgt, müßten in dem Reaktionsgemisch neben der angewandten Säure noch Formaldehyd, Formamid, Trisformaminomethan und Aminoacetonitril vorliegen. Auf Grund der in diesem Reaktionsgemisch sich ergebenden vielfältigen Reaktionsmöglichkeiten, z. B. in Richtung auf die Entstehung von Methylolverbindungen oder eine durch den Säureeinfluß bewirkte Zersetzung der Reaktionskomponenten, war es in keiner Weise vorauszusehen, daß nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren Purin in ausgezeichneter Reinheit und guter Ausbeute entstehen würde.Furthermore, it is surprising that methyleniminoacetonitrile in place of acylated aminoacetonitrile can be used for purine synthesis. The methyleniminoacetonitrile lies as a trimeric compound, d. H. as a hydrogenated triazine derivative. Appropriate tertiary amines such as N, N-dialkylated aminoacetonitriles, however, do not react Trisformaminomethane and formamide. Assuming that the procedure according to of the invention primarily a cleavage to aminoacetonitrile due to the presence of acid takes place, formaldehyde would have to be in the reaction mixture in addition to the acid used, Formamide, trisformaminomethane and aminoacetonitrile are present. Because of the in this Reaction mixture resulting diverse reaction possibilities, z. B. in the direction on the formation of methylol compounds or one caused by the influence of acids Decomposition of the reaction components, it was in no way to be foreseen that after the purine process according to the invention in excellent purity and good yield would arise.

Beispiel 3,4 g Methyleniminöacetonitril werden mit 36 g Trisformaminomethan, 25 ccm Formamid und 2,5 g konzentrierter Schwefelsäure 4 Stunden auf 160'C erhitzt. Anschließend wird das Reaktionsgemisch mit Soda neutralisiert, zur Trockne eingeengt, durch Behandeln mit absolutem Äthanol von den Salzen getrennt, nochmals eingeengt, mit Wasser aufgenommen und mit Chloroform extrahiert. Nach Abziehen des Lösungsmittels beträgt die Ausbeute an Purin vom Schmelzpunkt 215'C 300/, der Theorie.Example 3.4 g of methyleniminoacetonitrile are heated to 160.degree. C. for 4 hours with 36 g of trisformaminomethane, 25 cc of formamide and 2.5 g of concentrated sulfuric acid. The reaction mixture is then neutralized with soda, concentrated to dryness, separated from the salts by treatment with absolute ethanol, concentrated again, taken up in water and extracted with chloroform. After the solvent has been stripped off, the purine yield with a melting point of 215 ° C. is 300% of theory.
