Gresham and Carl E. Schweitzer, Wi mington, Del, assignors to E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, Wilmington, Del, a cor poration of Delaware No Drawing. Application October 24, 1945, Serial No. 624,328 4 Claims. (C. 465-5) 1. This invention relates to improvements in the of methionine is accomplished in overal yields synthesis of methionine, and to novel composi of about 70%. tions of matter employed in the said synthesis. The first step in the synthesis, namely, the re This application is a continuation-in-part of our action between methyl mercaptain and acrolein, now-abandoned copending application S.

As the reaction Coyne (Biochem. J. 22, 1417-25 (1928)). Accord proceeds, the temperature may be allowed to in ing to that well-known procedure, beta-methyl O crease somewhat, but it should not be allowed mercapto-propionaldehyde is subjected to a to rise above about 50° C., else excessive poly Strecker synthesis, by means of which methionine merization of the acrolein Will occur. The methyl is obtained in about 6% yield (cf. Organic Syn mercaptain preferably should be present in ex theses, volume XIV, page 60). cess of the amount theoretically required. In An object of the present invention is to provide 15 fact, about 2 mols of methyl mercaptain per mole a commercially feasible process for the manu of acrolein is usually desirable. One reason for facture of methionine in good yields from readily this is to permit control of the reaction tempera available starting materials. Another object is ture, since the exothermic heat of the reaction to provide an inexpensive and continuous process can be dissipated conveniently as heat of vapor for the synthesis of methionine. A still further 20 ization of methyl mercaptan. Accordingly, the object is to provide novel compositions of matter reaction vessel is generally equipped With a re which are especially adapted for use in the Syn fiux condenser operated at a temperature of 0° thesis of methionine. Another object is to pre C. Or lower for return of vaporized mercaptain pare methionine nitrile as a novel composition of to the reaction. If desired the heat may be with matter. Other objects of this invention Will ap 25 drawn by external cooling. In carrying out the pear hereinafter. reaction between acrolein and methyl mercaptain, These and other objects are accomplished in care must be exercised to prevent excessive poly accordance with this invention by means of a merization of the arcolein before it has had a series of coacting and interdependent Opera chance to react With the mercaptain. This is tions comprising the following steps: (1) reac 30 achieved by inhibiting the acrolein with about tion between methyl mercaptain and acrolein to 0.1% of hydroquinone, and by very efficient form beta-methylmercaptopropionaldehyde in stirring of the mercaptain while adding the the presence of an alkaline or non-acidic (pref acrolein thereto.

Consequently, the beta CHSCH2CH2CH(NH2)COOH--NH3 methylmercaptopropionaldehyde obtained in the (Methionine) 55 preceding step need not necessarily be distilled In accordance with this invention, this synthesis or otherwise freed of pyridine, hence acrolein 2,485,286 3 4. methyl mercaptain addition product, containing ent 2,432,478, and 618,783, now U.

In the second step of this invention, full preparation of the aminonitrile in accordance hydrogen cyanide, preferably in about 10% ex with the invention, is probably due to the fact cess, based upon the beta-methyl-mercaptopro that the cyanhydrin is first obtainable, as stated pionaldehyde is added to the reaction product above, in isolable form, and is thereafter treated of the first step at a temperature in the range with high pressure ammonia.

This is This alpha-hydroxy-gamma - methylmercapto due in part to the thermal instability of the butyronitrile is a novel composition of matter aminonitrile, and to the fact that the aminoni which is particularly useful in, and especially 20 trile and the cyanhydrin are similar in structure adapted for, the herein described process for and molecular weight, being representable by the making methionine.
