Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung von Xanthin aus Harnsäure Die Überführung von Harnsäure in Xanthin bzw. substituierte Xanbhine ist an sich lange bekannt und noch in letzter Zeit wieder bearbeitet worden. S u n d w i k (vgl. Hoppe-Seylers Zeitschrift für physiologische Chemie Bd.23, S.476 [r897], Bd.26, S. 131 [ i898/99], Bd. 76, S. 486 [1911/121) konnte I lariisäure durch Einwirkung von Glycerin-Amei sensäure bei @;ttva 200° in Xanthin überführen, allerdings nur in schlechter Ausbeute. B i 1 t z und S c h m i <L t (vgl. Liebigs Annalen der Chemie, l;<1. 43 1 . S.70 [19231) setzten Harnsäure mit Essigs<itire2inliydrid um und erhielten 8-Methylxanthin. Weiter haben B i 1 t z und B e c k (vgl. Journal für praktische Chemie [2] Bd. 118, S. 166 [1928]) das Stiirc[wiksohe Verfahren weiter ausgearbeitet und aus Harnsäure durch Behandlung mit Glycerin-:\n1eisensäure etwa 40% der Theorie Xanthin erhalten. Die Reaktionstemperatur ist 22o bis 23o°. Diese Autoren zeigten auch, daß sich an Stelle von Ameisensäure auch Formamid verwenden läßt, wobei allerdings die Ausbeute absank.Process for the production of xanthine from uric acid The conversion of uric acid into xanthine or substituted xanbhine has been known per se for a long time and has only recently been reworked. S undwik (cf. Hoppe-Seylers Zeitschrift für Physiologische Chemie Vol. 23, p. 476 [r897], Vol. 26, p. 131 [1898/99], Vol. 76, p. 486 [1911/121) could I. Convert lariic acid into xanthine by the action of glycerol-formic acid at @; ttva 200 °, but only in poor yield. B i 1 tz and S chmi <L t (cf. Liebigs Annalen der Chemie, 1; <1.43, p.70 [19231) reacted uric acid with acetic itire2inhydride and obtained 8-methylxanthine. In addition, Bitez and Beck (cf. Journal for Practical Chemistry [2], Vol. 118, p. 166 [1928]) worked out the Stiirc [wiksohe process further and made about 40 from uric acid by treatment with glycerol: \ n1icic acid % of theory received xanthine. The reaction temperature is from 22o to 23o °. These authors also showed that formamide can also be used instead of formic acid, although the yield decreased.

Es wurde nun gefunden, daß es möglich ist, die Umwandlung der Harnsäure in Xanthin so zu gestalten, daß die Ausbeuten besonders hoch sind, Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Zieldadurch erreicht, daß man auf Harnsäure bei höherer Temperatur solche Amide der Ameisensäure einwirken läßt, die einen höheren Siedepunkt als Formamid und vorzugsweise einen über 200° gelegenen Siedepunkt aufweisen. Beispielsweise wandelt Äthylformamid bei etwas über 200° gelegener Temperatur und Formanilid bei etwa 24o° Harnsäure in fast quantitativer Ausbeute in Xanthin um.It has now been found that it is possible to convert uric acid to make in xanthine so that the yields are particularly high, according to the invention this goal is achieved by using uric acid at a higher temperature such Amides of formic acid can act, which have a higher boiling point than formamide and preferably have a boiling point above 200 °. For example converts ethylformamide at a temperature slightly above 200 ° and formanilide about 240 ° uric acid in almost quantitative yield in xanthine.

Die Verfahrensprodukte sind als Ausgangsmaterial für die Synthese von Purinderivaten, z. B. Theobromin, Coffein u. dgl., geeignet. Im soll die Durchführung des erfindungsgemäBen Verfahrerns durch zwei Ausführungsheispiele näher erläutert werden.The process products are used as starting material for the synthesis of purine derivatives, e.g. B. theobromine, caffeine and the like., Suitable. in the is intended to carry out the method according to the invention by means of two exemplary embodiments are explained in more detail.

Ausführungsbeispiele i. 5,Teile Harnsäure werden mit i5o Teilen Äthylformamid auf 2oo° erhitzt und bei dieser oder ein wenig höherer Temperatur so lange gehalten, bis die Harnsäure völlig in Lösung gegangen ist; was nach etwa 30 Minuten der Fall ist. Nachdem Erkalten wird das Reaktionsgemisch vom Äthylformamid befreit. Das erhaltene Rohxanthin (4,5 Teile) kann nach bekannten Methoden gereinigt werden.Embodiments i. 5 parts of uric acid are heated to 200 ° with 150 parts of ethylformamide and kept at this temperature or a slightly higher temperature until the uric acid has completely dissolved; which is the case after about 30 minutes. After cooling, the reaction mixture is freed from ethylformamide. The raw xanthine obtained (4.5 parts) can be purified by known methods.

2. 5 Teile Harnsäure werden mit i5o Teilen Formanilid rasch auf etwa 24o° erhitzt und bei dieser oder ein wenig höherer Temperatur so lange gehalten, bis .die Harnsäure, völlig in Lösung gegangen ist, was nach etwa 30 -bis 40 Minuten erreicht ist. Nach dem Erkalten wird das Reaktionsgemisch vom Formarnilid befreit, z. B. mit heißem Alkohol. Das erhaltene Rohxanthin (4,5 Teile) kann nach den bekannten Methoden gereinigt werden.2. 5 parts of uric acid are rapidly reduced to about 150 parts of formanilide Heated to 24o ° and kept at this temperature or a slightly higher temperature for so long until the uric acid has completely dissolved, which takes about 30 to 40 minutes is reached. After cooling, the reaction mixture is freed from the formarnilide, z. B. with hot alcohol. The raw xanthine obtained (4.5 parts) can according to the known Methods to be cleaned.
