Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Substituted Phenylglycine-ortho-carboxylic Acid Compounds and of Intermediate Products.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1909-03-23
Granted: 1910-02-24
Abstract: 6991. Johason, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. March 23. Samples furnished. Formaldehyde-, #-cyanmethyl-, and w-sulphomethyl-compounds; phenylglycine-2-carboxylic acids. -Substituted phenylglycine-2-carboxylic acids which are either halogen derivatives or correspond to the formula wherein R represents a simple or substituted benzene residue, and R<1> a simple or substituted alkyl, aryl, or aralkyl residue, are produced by treating the corresponding substituted anthranilic acids with formaldehyde and hydrocyanic acid or a cyanide, either simultaneously or consecutively and then saponifying. Compounds of the constitution result by the action of formaldehyde, and compounds of the constitution by the action of the cyanide. The formaldehyde compound may be treated with a sulphite and the resulting #-sulphomethyl compound acted upon with a cyanide, an #-cyanmethyl derivative resulting as before. In examples, the formaldehyde and #-cyanmethyl derivatives and the corresponding substituted phenylglycine-2-carboxylic acids are produced from 3 : 5-dichlor-2-amino-1-benzoic acid, dibromanthranilic acid (obtained by the action of bromine on o-nitrotoluene), tetrachloranthranilic acid, #-cyanmethylanthranilic acid, and phenylglycine - 2 - carboxylic acid. Diphenylglycine- 2 - carboxylic acid can be similarly produced from phenylanthranilic -acid, and 3:4-and 4 :5-dibalogenphenylglycine - 2 - carboxylic acids are also obtainable. Tetrachloranthranilic acid is produced by digesting tetrachlorphthalic anhydride with ammonia and treating the resulting tetrachlorphthalamic acid with hypochlorite in presence of alkali. Halogenated indigo dyes produced from 3 :4- and 4 : 5- dihalogenphenylglycine-2-carboxylic acids give valuable shades on the fibre.
