Complete Specification for the invention entitled: PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF 1,6-DICHLORO-1,6-DIDEOXY- -D-FRUCTOFURANOSYL-4-CHLORO-4-DEOXY-a-GALACTOPYRANOSIDE The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me/us:- 8845A:rk PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF 1,6-DICHLORO-.16-DIDEOXY- -D-FRUCTOFURANOSYL-4-CHLORO-4-DEOXY-a-GALACTOPYRANOSIDE Background of the Invention This invention relates to a process for the preparation of 1,6-dichloro-1.6-dideoxy–D-fructofuranosyl-4-chloro-4deoxy-a-galactopyranoside. This compound is a potent sweetener, having a sweetness several hundred times that of sucrose. Its use as a sweetener and in sweetening compositions is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,435,440.
The preparation of 1.6-dichloro-1.6-dideoxy—D-fructofuranosyl-4-chloro-4-deoxy-a-galactopyranoside or as it is sometimes referred to in the literature. trichloro-4,1′,6′-trideoxygalactosucrose. (hereinafter ‘1 referred to as «sucralose») involves the substitution of chlorine atoms in the sucrose molecule in one of the five secondary hydroxyl positions and in two of the three primary hydroxyl positions. This particular selection of positions usually means that any synthetic route must involve the preparation of an intermediate sucr( d derivative having the required positions available for chlorination while the other positions are blocked. In particular, the reactive 6-position must not be chlorinated, while the 4-position must be rendered available for chlorination.
One route proposed in the literature (Fairclough et al, Carbohydrate Research 40 (1975) 285-298) involves the formation of the 6,1′,6′-tritrityl derivative of sucrose, peracetylation of the molecule and then detritylation with migration of the 4-acetyl radical to the 6-position, to give 2.3,6,3.,4′-penta-O-acetylsucrose which has the MN 436 -2correct hydroxy groups unprotected. Subsequent reaction with a chlorinating agent provides the 4,1′,6′-trichlorogalactosucrose penta-acetate which in turn yields sucralose on removal of the acetyl groups. The chlorination proceeds with inversion of configuration at the 4-position. The 1′ and 6′-positions freely rotate, but the 4-position cannot and the glucose ring is thus inverted at the 4-position yielding a galactose derivative so that the product is a galactosucrose.
Another route is set forth in U.S. Patent No. 4,380,476 and comprises the steps of: reacting sucrose with an acylating reagent under conditions to provide a mixture of acylated sucrose derivatives containing a major proportion of 6-monoacylated material: optionally separating the 6-monoacylated sucrose derivative from other acylated derivatives before step reacting the monoacylated sucrose derivative with a chlorinating reagent capable of chlorinating at positions 4 and 6′ of a sucroe 6-acylate: and deacylating and separating (in either order) the sucralose material formed.
A further process for preparing sucralose is set forth in U.S. Patent No. 4.362,869. This process converts sucrose through a number of steps into sucralose. This process describes the sequential steps of tritylation of rsucrose to block the three primary alcohol groups; (2) acetylation of the five secondary alcohol groups as i acetates; detrityltion of the three primary alcohol P 30 groups to deblock them; acetyl migration from tne 4-position to the 6-position chlorinating the desired alcohol groups at positions 4, and deblocking the remaining five alcohol groups by deacetyltion thereby yielding aucralose.
MN 436 -3 The invention disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,362,869 is centered around the acetyl migration from the 4-position to the 6-position which is effected by treating a solution of 2,3.4,3′,4’-penta-O-acetyl sucrose in an inert solvent with a weak acid at an elevated temperature. It was found that selection of specific reaction conditions for the acetyl migration gave considerably higher yields overall for separate detritylation and migration than the prior art which taught a one stage process for these steps. The weak acid utilized is preferably a carboxylic acid.
especially an aliphatic carboxylic acid such as acetic acid. It is stated that any acid having an acid strength of the same order as acetic acid under the conditions used will suffice. The reaction temperature should be elevated above ambient temperature in order to provide an acceptable reaction time. A temperature of from about 0 to 150 0 C is said to be suitable, preferably 1000 to 130 0
C,
The inert solvent is said to be any solvent for penta-O-acetyl sucrose which remains liquid at the elevated temperature selected, e.g. a temperature in the range of 1000 to 140 0 C. Ketonic solvents are particularly preferred. especially methyl isobutyl ketone, wichreflxesat aout117 0 C. A dilute solution of the soluionof fom to10% by weight, especially about This degree of dilution is suitable for reaction with the sucrose penta-acetate dissolved at a concentration of up to 30% by weight. e.g. about 20%. Ester solvents of sufficiently high boiling point are also ‘Useful, e.g.
n-butyl acetate. Also of particular interest are aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene or xylene.
When tne reaction is completed, the reaction mixcture is MN~ 436 4cooled and 2.3.6,3’4′-penta-0-acetylsucrose crystallizes.
After an additional period of time at 0 C. the crystalline product is filtered, washed and dried and then proceeds to the chlorination step. While an effective process, the above process involves the use of a carboxylic acid at high temperatures in the pres.ence of free hydroxyl groups, conditions known to promote acylation.
The prior art also reveals that dilute aqueous solutions of bases are suitable for carrying out acetyl migrations.
Although a migration occurs from the 4 to the 6 positions of the glucose ring with 0.001 N sodium hydroxide, the yield is very low due to concurrent deacetylation. When 2 to 5% solutions of a very weak base. pyridine or substituted pyridines, e.g. 2,4 and 2.6 lutidines or 2.4.6 tri-methyl pyridine (collidine) are used in water.
reasonable yields of 2.3.6.3’.4′-penta-O-acetyl sucrose are obtained, however, deacetylation and further migration to give 3.4.6,3′,4′-penta-0-acetyl sucrose also occurs.
It is an object of an embodiment of the present invention to provide an improved process for the preparation of sucralose.
It is a further object of an embodiment of the present invention to provide a process for the preparation of sucralose wherein the acetyl migration step of U.S. Patent No. 4,362,869 can be accomplished without utilizing a weak t 30 acid.
S’Broadly, the present invention lies in a process fnr the Se preparation of 2,3,6,3′,4′-penta-0-acetylsucrose comprising isomerizing 2,3,4,3′,4′-penta-O-acetylsucrc -e in a non-aqueous solvent with a weak base.
MN 436 5 An embodiment of the invention is an improved process for the preparation of sucralose. This process comprises the steps of tritylation of sucrose to block the three primary alcohol groups; acetylation of the five secondary alcohol groups as acetates; detritylation of the three primary alcohol groups to deblock them; (4) acetyl migration; selective chlorination: and (6) deacetylation to deblock the remaining alcohol groups to yield sucralose.
It has now been found that the acetyl migration can be 15 carried out utilizing a weak base catalyst in a non-aqueous solvent. These bases should be kinetically active but sterically hindered to inhibit deacetylation and minimize side reactions. Specific base catalysts which have been found useful for acetyl migrations include tert-butylamine. triethylamine, pyrrolidine.
di-N-propylamine, di-isopropylamiie. morpholine, n-butylamine, isopropylamine, pipe-idine. diethylamine and the like.
‘he reaction temperature should be from about 300C to 600C. preferably about 50 0 C. If the temperature is raised above 60 C then the risk of side reactions increases and if the temperature is kept below about the reaction may proceed too slowly. The reaction proceeds to completion in from about 2 1/2 hours to hours depending on the selected amine and temperature.
MN 436 6 The migration takes place in any inert solvent in which 2,3.4,3′,4′-penta-0-acetyl sucrose is sparingly soluble, excluding alcohols or primary and secondary amines, where potential for a base catalyzed deacetylation reaction exists. The migration takes place in the following representative solvents: toluene, tetrahydrofuran, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, acetone, acetonitrile, pyridine (with a stronger base catalyst like tert-butylamine). The best solvents are those in which the product, being only partially soluble, crystallizes out early and drives the reaction to completion. Toluene, ethyl acetate and methyl isobutylketone are examples of this class. High amine concentrations inhibit crystallization and for his reason the catalyst level should not exceed about 8%.
A major embodiment of this invention is that the acetyl migration and chlorination reactions leading to sucralose can be carried out not only in discrete steps but also in tandem without the necessity of separating out the migrated product prior to chlorination provided are chosen: a solvent compatible to both reactions, and a base catalyst easily removed prior to chlorination.
The selected solvent should, in particular, be inert to the chlorinating Agents and hiave a boiling point high S enough to ensure complete chlorination, preferably above 30 about 80 C.
The aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene and the like are suitable, as are ethyl acetate, methyl isobutylketone. dichloroethane and other solvents which satisfy the earlier stated requirements.
MN 436 7 As discussed above, the first step of the process involves the tritylation of sucrose to block the three primary alcohol groups. This can be accomplished by reacting sucrose with trityl chloride in a suitable solvent such as pyridine. It has also been noted that increased yields at lower costs can be achieved when the solvent is changed from pyridine to dimethylformamide wherein a tertiary N-methylmorpholine) or polymer-bound poly-2 vinylpyridine) amine is used as acid scavenger.
After completion of the reaction and the blocking of the three primary alcohols, the tritylated reaction product is subjected to in-situ peracetylation with acetic anhydride. If pyridine is used as a solvent, the reaction mixture after acetylation is poured nto ice water and the precipitated product filtered and dried. The procedure is repeated a number of times to remove any traces of pyridine and a crystallization yields 6,1′,6′-tri-O-tritylsucrose penta-acetate.
If dimethylformamide is used as the soavent during tritylation, then the N-methylmorpholine hydrochloride can be neutralized in-situ by the addition of sodium hydrogen carbonate and the solution concentrated to remove N-methylmorpholine and a large portion of the dimethyl- Sformamide. Acetic aahydride and a catalyst such as St pyridine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine or potassium acetate are added to the residue. After reaction, crystallization by S methanol a4dition affords yields 6,1’.61-tri-o-trityl- S 30 sucrose penta-acetate. Alternatively, the dimethylformamide and N-methylmorpholine are removed by extracting frojm eoluene with water and the tritritylsucrse acetylated in toluene solution.
The detritylation step can be accomplished by dissolving MN 436 -w4 *«.*mtao diinafrsyed .1 ‘ti.-rtl 8 the 6.1′,6′-tri-O-tritylsucrose penta-acetate in dichloromethane and acetic acid, cooling the solution to 0°C and adding concentrated hydrochloric acid. After stirring for two hours, the solution is neutralized.
After additional stirring and concentration, methanol is added resulting in the precipitation of triphenylmethanol. The solution is then concentrated and ether is added and 4′-penta-O-acetylsucrose is crystallized out at room temperature.
Other methods of detritylating the 6,1′,6′-tri-0-tritylsucrose penta-acetate (TRISPA) can also be utilized. For o0 o0 example, hydrogen chloride can be reacted with the penta-acetate solution in toluene at about 0 C with the S 15 2,3,4,3 ,4’-penta-O-acetylsucrose isolated by filtration 0 a and the trityl chloride ‘ecovered by concentration of the mother liquor. The detritylation can also be accomplished t in a methylene chloride solution using hydrogen chloride as the catalyst in methanol, in methylene chloride/formic acid solution by the dropwise addition of water, or in methylene chloride using a Lewis acid.
The 2,3,4,3′,4′-penta-0-acetylsucrose is then subjected to the acetyl migration as discussed above followed by chlorination of the resulting 2,3,6,3′,4′-penta-0acetylsucrose. The chlorination can be accomplished utilizing any suitable chlorinating reagent. These reagents include Vilsmeier type reagents (e.g.
dimethylformamide/thionyl chloride), triphenylphosphine/carbon tetrachloride in a suitable solvent such as methyl isobutylketone and sulphuryl chloride/pyridine; thionyl chloride/triphenylphosphine oxide or any other suitable chlorinating reagent.
The chlorination results in the formation of MN 436 9 Si

4,1′,6′-trichloro-4,1, 1 .6′-trideoxygalactosucrose pentaacetate. The deacetylation can be achieved with methanol and sodium methoxide to yield the desired Isucralose.
