Description

SPECIFICATION Resolution of DL-cis and DL-trans chrysanthemic acid This invention relates to a new process for resolving DL-cis and DL-trans chrysanthemic acid.
Processes for resolving DL-trans chrysa nthem ic acid are already known, for example the process described by Campbell J.Sci.Food.Agr. 2, 421 (1951) as well as the processes described in French Patent Specification No.1,536,458, French Patent of Addition Specification No. 92,748 and British Patent Specification No. 1,178,423.
Processes for resolving DL-cis chrysanthemic acid have also been described for example by Campbell, J.Sci.Food.Agr. 421(1951) and by Okada Katsuhidi and Colleagues, Agr. Biol. Chem. 1973,37(10) 2235-40.
In general all these processes use relatively expensive reagents such as, for example, quinine or reagents which are not readily available commercially.
We have now found that the resolution of DL-cis and DL-trans chrysanthemic acids to give the resolved cis and trans chrysanthemic acids, intermediates well known as useful in the synthesis of esters having remarkable insecticidal activity, may be carried out with less expensive commercial reagents and solvents and under easily-industrialisable conditions.
Thus, according to the present invention there is provided a process for resolving DL-cis or DL-trans chrysanthemic acid, which comprises reacting the said acid with L or D N-methyl-ephedrine in an organic solvent, separating the L N-methylephedrine salt of D-cis or D-trans chrysanthemic acid or the D N-methyl-ephedrine salt of L-cis or L-trans chrysanthemic acid thus crystallised and subjecting the said salt to acid hydrolysis whereby the desired D-cis or D-trans chrysanthemic acid or L-cis or L-trans chrysanthemic acid is obtained.
According to one embodiment of the invention, DL-cis chrysanthemic acid may be resolved by reactinq the said acid with L or D N-methylephedrine in an organic solvent and the L N-methylephedrine salt of D-cis chrysanthemic acid or the D N-methyl ephedrine salt of L-cis chrysanthemic acid which crystallises is separated and subjected to acid hydrolysis to give D-cis chrysanthemic acid or L-cis chrysanthemic acid.
According to a preferred method of carrying out this embodiment of the invention, the organic solvent used in the salification reaction is, for example, toluene, ethyl acetate, acetone, isopropanol or, more preferably diisopropyl ether. the reaction mixture is conveniently heated, if need be to reflux, two obtain complete dissolution of the Nmethyl-ephedrine and then allowed to return slowly to ambient temperature. The mixture may then be cooled, if need be to e,g, -10 C, before separating the salt formed. The acid hydrolysis is conveniently carried out with hydrochloric acid in the presence of methylene chloride or diisopropyl ether.
According to a further embodiment of the invention DL-trans chrysanthemic acid may be resolved by reacting the said acid with L or D N-methylephedrine in an organic solvent and the L N-methylephedrine salt of D-trans chrysanthemic acid or the D N-methyl-ephedrine salt of L-trans chrysanthemic acid which crystallises is separated and subjected acid hydrolysis to give D-trans chrysanthemic acid or L-trans chrysanthemic acid.
According to a preferred method of carrying out this embodiment, the organic solvent used in the salification reaction is preferably diisopropyl ether or toluene; however, it is also possible to work in ethyl acetate.
The reaction mixture is conveniently warmed to 40-45"C to facilitate dissolution of the N-methyl ephedrine, then allowed to return slowly to ambient temperature and then cooled to 0 C.
Acid hydrolysis is preferably carried out with hydrochloric acid in the presence of diisopropyl ether or methylene chloride.
It will be appreciated that the N-methyl-ephedrine salt of chrysanthemic acid which does not crystallise may be obtained, if desired, by evaporation of the mother liquors to dryness, which salt may then also be subjected to acid hydrolysis to yield the corresponding D or L isomeric chrysanthemic acid.
The N-methyl-ephedrine used in the process according to the invention can, if desired, be recovered easily after the acid hydrolysis according to process known per se The following non-limiting examples serve to illustrate the present invention.
