-
Page/Page column 19, (2020/12/30)
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of methionine comprising the step of contacting a solution or suspension comprising 2-amino-4-(methylthio)butanenitrile and/or 2-amino- 4-(methylthio)butaneamide with water in the presence of a catalyst to give a methionine comprising mixture, wherein the catalyst comprises CeO2 comprising particles, wherein the CeO2 comprising particles have a BET surface area of from 175 to 300 +/- 10% m2/g measured according to DIN ISO 9277-5 (2003), a mean maximum Feret diameter xFmax, mean of from 3 +/- 10% to 40 +/- 10% nm and a mean minimum Feret diameter xFmin, mean of from 2 +/- 10% to 30 +/- 10% nm, both measured according to DIN ISO 9276-6 (2012).

Directed hydration of α-amino nitriles was achieved under mild conditions using simple carbohydrates as catalysts exploiting temporary intramolecularity. A broadly applicable procedure using both formaldehyde and NaOH as catalysts efficiently hydrated a variety of primary and secondary susbtrates, and allowed the hydration of enantiopure substrates to proceed without racemization. This work also provides a rare comparison of the catalytic activity of carbohydrates, and shows that the simple aldehydes at the basis of chemical evolution are efficient organocatalysts mimicking the function of hydratase enzymes. Optimal catalytic efficiency was observed with destabilized aldehydes, and with difficult substrates only simple carbohydrates such as formaldehyde and glycolaldehyde proved reliable.
