Patent GB-460372-A (GB)
Title: Manufacture of amino-carboxylic acid nitriles and amino-carboxylic acids
IPC: F01D21/16
Filed: 1935-07-26
Abstract: Aminocarboxylic acid nitriles of high molecular weight and the corresponding acids are manufactured by causing an aliphatic compound containing an amino-group and at least one aliphatic radicle of at least 9 carbon atoms to react with an aliphatic aldehyde and hydrocyanic acid, or with compounds yielding an aliphatic aldehyde or hydrocyanic acid respectively, and, if desired, saponifying the resulting nitrile.  As aliphatic aldehydes or substances yielding them may be used formaldehyde, formaldehyde - bisulphite, acetaldehyde and homologues thereof and aldehyde-like bodies such as glucose.  Suitable amines are: decylamine, undecylamine, dodecylamine, oleylamine, octadecylamine, dodecylglucamine, amines from montanic acids, diamines such as dodecylethylenediamine, aminocarboxylic acids, e.g. dodecylaminoacetic acid, octadecylaminopropionic acid, amino-ethers, amino-sulphones, and also technical amine mixtures, e.g. those obtainable from natural fats or fatty acid mixtures or fish oils by transformation into nitriles and reduction of the latter.  The products may be used as intermediates for the manufacture of assistants in the textile industry.  The mineral acid salts of the nitriles and the alkali salts of the acids have an emulsifying and washing power.  In examples: (1) sodium cyanide is added to an aqueous solution of formaldehyde, sodium bisulphite and dodecylamine and the product is saponified with caustic soda and acidified, yielding dodecylaminoacetic acid; (2) the dodecylamine is replaced by octadecylamine, producing octadecylaminoacetic nitrile and acid; (3) formaldehyde-bisulphite and potassium cyanide, both in aqueous solution, are added to oleylamine; (4) methyldodecylamine is added to a solution of formaldehyde and sodium bisulphite, and potassium cyanide is added to the mixture to produce methyldodecylaminoacetonitrile, which may be saponified as in (1); (5) a solution of sodium bisulphite and acetaldehyde is added to octadecylamine, and sodium cyanide is added to the mixture, yielding the nitrile of octadecylaminomethylacetic acid, and, by saponification, the corresponding acid.  Specifications 388,874 and 423,735 are referred to.  Dodecylglucamine is obtainable by the action of hydrogen on a mixture of glucose and dodecylamine under pressure in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst. Methyldodecylamine is obtainable by catalytic hydrogenation of lauric acid methylamide.
