This invention relates generally to taurine and more par DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION ticularly to a process for the production of taurine from ethionic acid and ethanol by way of ethanol-derived ethionic In accordance with the present invention, there are dis acid. closed three preferred embodiments for producing taurine 10 from ethionic acid and more specifically from ethanol by way BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION of ethanol-derived ethionic acid. These three embodiments are schematically illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 as a block dia Taurine can be referred to as 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid gram. and is one of the amino Sulfonic acids found in the tissues of In the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, many animals. Taurine is an extremely useful compound 15 because it has such pharmacological effects as detoxification ethionic acid is reacted with an aqueous solution of excess effect, fatigue-relieving effect and nourishing and tonifying ammonia to afford ammonium ethionate. The molar ratio of effect. As a result, taurine finds wide applications as an essen ammonia to ethionic acid can be in the range of 5 to 15, more tial ingredient for human and animal nutrition. preferably in the range of 8 to 10. Too little ammonia Taurine is currently produced in an amount of over 50,000 increases the formation of ditaurine, a byproduct, while more tons per year from ethylene oxide and monoethanolamine, ammonia is desirable for the reaction, too much ammonia both of which are petroleum derived chemicals. In addition to increases the process cost in the recovery of excess ammonia. their ever increasing cost, these two starting materials are The reactions are described as follows: toxic and for ethylene oxide difficult to handle.

    PINK Safety Assessment of Isethionate Salts as Used in Cosmetics CIR EXPERT PANEL MEETING JUNE 10-11, 2013 Commitment & Credibility since 1976 Memorandum To: CIR Expert Panel Members and Liaisons From: Christina L. Burnett Scientific Writer/Analyst Date: May, 2013 Subject: Draft Tentative Report on Isethionate Salts Way back in December 2008, the CIR Expert Panel re‐reviewed Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate and determined to re‐open the report to allow for the development and incorporation of new reproductive and developmental data from Industry. The data at the time were not ready and the Panel agreed to table the report until the data were ready. The data were supposed to be available by the end of 2009. Meanwhile, at the March 2009 meeting with the newest Panel members seated, the Panel agreed to expand the ingredient report to include additional isethionate salts to bring the total number of ingredients reviewed in this safety assessment to 12. Nearly 5 years have passed and we never received the promised data directly from Industry. We have been recently informed that the data were submitted for REACH and can be accessed through the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) website (http://echa.europa.eu/en/information‐on‐chemicals). While we are waiting on legal clarification in general on how we can proceed with utilizing copyrighted material from the ECHA site for unknown third party data, we have been given permission to use the data on sodium isethionate (CAS # 1562‐00‐1) from all involved parties. These data have been incorporated into the report. In the time that has passed, the reported uses to the FDA VCRP database have doubled for sodium cocoyl isethionate.

Department of The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 ii ABSTRACT 'Studies on the Physiological Role of Taurine in Mammalian Tissues' Mohamed A. Remtulla Ph.D. (Pathology) Taurine (2-aminoethane sulfonic acid) is one of the most abundant free amino acids found in mammalian brain, heart and muscle. Taurine levels have also been shown to be altered in certain disease states. A physiological role for taurine in the maintainance of excitatory activity in muscle and nervous tissues has been suggested; however its possible mechanism of action is still uncertain. Early work on the pharmacological actions of taurine involved its possible conversion to isethionic acid (2-hydroxyethane sulfonic acid), a strong anion.

Russell May 2012 Major Subject: Chemistry iii ABSTRACT Fluorescent Reagents to Improve the Analytical Infrastructure of Capillary Electrophoretic Separations. (May 2012) Ming-Chien Li, B.S., Tankang University; M.S., National Tsing Hua University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Gyula Vigh Two types of fluorescent molecules had been designed and synthesized to improve the analytical infrastructure of capillary electrophoretic separations. First, a hydrophilic version of the permanently cationic acridine-based fluorophore, HEG2Me2-DAA was ex synthesized. HEG2Me2-DAA has a λ max of 490 nm which matches the 488 nm line of the commonly used argon ion laser. The emission spectra of HEG2Me2-DAA are pH- independent. HEG2Me2-DAA was used in capillary electrophoresis with an aqueous background electrolyte and was found to be free of the detrimental peak tailing of the acridine orange-based fluorophore that was caused by adsorption on the inner wall of the fused silica capillary. Bovine serum albumin was labeled with excess of the designed amine reactive reagent and the lowest concentration at which the tagged bovine serum albumin was tested was 15 nM.
