Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for introducing an amino group into an organic acid or an organic ester by reacting an organic salt or an organic ester and ammonia under high-temperature and high-pressure water conditions, a method for synthesizing an amino acid or an amino ester by the above method, and a method for manufacturing an amino acid compound by synthesizing an amino acid or an amino ester by the above method and separating and refining it with an ion exchange resin.
Claims18
A method for introducing an amino group comprising introducing an amino group into an organic ester in a reaction time from 0.001 second to 10 minutes by reacting the organic ester with ammonia or an ammonium salt compound under high-temperature and high-pressure water conditions that the temperature is at least 250° C. and the pressure is at least 20 MPa.
A method for synthesizing an amino acid compound comprising reacting an organic ester with ammonia or an ammonium salt compound for a reaction time from 0.001 to second to 10 minutes under high-temperature and high-pressure water conditions that the temperature is at least 250° C. and the pressure is at least 20 MPa.
A method for manufacturing an amino acid compound using an organic ester and ammonia or an ammonium salt compound as the reaction substrates under high-temperature and high-pressure water conditions that the temperature is at least 250° C. and the pressure is at least 20 MPa comprising introducing the organic ester and the ammonia or the ammonium salt compound into a reactor, reacting them continuously for a reaction time of from 0.01 second to 5 minutes under high-temperature and high-pressure water conditions, and then subjecting the reaction solution thus obtained to an ion exchange resin to obtain a separated and refined amino acid.
