Problems solved by technology

However, the preparation process of the former requires the energy product ATP, and while catalyzing the synthesis of theanine from ethylamine and glutamic acid, an ATP regeneration system must be constructed; while the latter does not need to consume ATP, but is prone to various side effects such as hydrolysis and transpeptidation. reaction
There is no report on the preparation method of D-theanine

Embodiment 1

[0028] Embodiment 1: Synthesis I of carboxyethylhydantoin.

[0029] Dissolve L-glutamic acid (0.1mol) and potassium cyanate (0.12mol) in water, and use 0.5mol·L -1 Potassium hydroxide solution was used to adjust the pH to 9.0, and the reaction was stirred at 75°C for 2 hours to generate the intermediate product N-carbamoyl-glutamic acid. Add 0.5mol·L -1 Adjust the pH of the solution to 1-2 with hydrochloric acid, heat up to 100°C and heat to reflux for 0.5h, cool, filter and dry to obtain 14.6g of crude carboxyethyl hydantoin, which can be recrystallized with water to obtain white crystalline carboxyethyl hydantoin. 79.5%, m.p.179~181℃, 1 H NMR (DMSO-d6, 500MHz) δ: 12.14 (s, 1H, COOH), 10.59 (s, 1H, 3-NH), 7.91 (s, 1H, 1-NH), 4.03~4.00 (m, 1H, CH), 2.33~2.30(m, 2H, CH 2 ), 1.95~1.68 (m, 2H, CH 2 ); MS m / z: 171.1(M-1) - .

Embodiment 2

[0030] Example 2: Synthesis II of carboxyethylhydantoin.

[0031] Dissolve L-sodium glutamate monohydrogen (0.1mol) and sodium cyanate (0.14mol) in water, and use 0.1mol·L-1 Sodium hydroxide solution was used to adjust the pH to 8.5, and the reaction was stirred at 80°C for 2 hours to generate the intermediate product N-carbamoyl-glutamic acid. Add concentrated hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH of the solution to 1-2, raise the temperature to 100°C and heat to reflux for 1.5 hours, cool, filter and dry to obtain 15.3 g of crude carboxyethyl hydantoin, which can be recrystallized with water to obtain white crystal carboxyethyl hydantoin. Yield 82.7% (mp: 179-181°C).

Embodiment 3

[0032] Embodiment 3: the synthetic I of N-ethyl hydantoin propionamide.

[0033] Add carboxyethylhydantoin I (0.1mol) to 20mL DMF, stir at room temperature to dissolve, add DCC (0.1mol) and HOBt (0.1mol), react for 2 hours, remove DCU (dicyclohexylurea) by filtration, and take the filtrate. Ethylamine gas was introduced from a compressed gas cylinder to react overnight. Diethyl ether was added for extraction three times, and the extract was dried and concentrated to obtain a white solid. After recrystallization from methanol, 18.2 g of white crystal N-ethylhydantoinamide was obtained, with a yield of 91.4%, m.p.220-221°C, 1 HNMR (DMSO-d6, 500MHz) δ: 10.59 (s, 1H, 3-NH), 7.88 (s, 1H, 1-NH), 7.79 (s, 1H, NH), 4.03~4.00 (m, 1H, CH ), 3.06~3.03 (m, 2H, CH 2 ), 2.15~2.09 (m, 2H, CH 2 ), 1.89~1.72 (m, 2H, CH 2 ), 1.03~0.98 (m, 3H, CH 3 ); MS m / z: 198.1(M-1) - .

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing optically active theanine by an enzymatic method. The method comprises the following steps: adopting cyanate and glutamic acid as raw materials, reacting under an alkali condition; acidizing and cyclizing to form carboxyethyl glycolylurea; then adopting a peptide connecting reagent to connect ethylamine to a carboxyl group at the tail end of the carboxyethyl glycolylurea and then extracting, concentrating, crystallizing and separating to obtain N-ethyl glycolylurea propionamide; using wet thalli containing glycolylurea enzymes and carbamyl enzymes as a catalyst and preparing L or D-theanine by catalyzing and hydrolyzing the N-ethyl glycolylurea propionamide under an alkalescent condition; and separating, concentrating and crystallizing the obtained theanine enzymatic conversion solution to obtain the L or D-theanine. In the method, both alpha-amino groups and carboxyl groups in glutamic acid are protected by adopting glycolylurea rings, and only gamma-carboxyl groups are exposed, thereby guaranteeing the position specifity of an ethylamine connecting reaction. The invention avoids most repeated protection and deprotection steps in chemosynthesis, has simple operation and reduces side reactions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing D or L-theanine by hydantoin enzymatic method. Background technique [0002] L-theanine is a special amino acid contained in tea leaves. Its structure is similar to glutamic acid, and it belongs to γ-glutamyl ethylamine derivatives. The average content of L-theanine in tea is 1-2%, accounting for more than 50% of the total amount of amino acids in tea. L-theanine can significantly promote the release of dopamine in the central nervous system of the brain and increase the physiological activity of dopamine, thereby helping to relax the body, relieve fatigue, and effectively control symptoms of depression (Peng Ying et al., CN03124680.X). Health care product manufacturers at home and abroad have developed and listed a variety of L-theanine-based medicines and / or health products for the preparation of treatment and / or depression (Chen Jiancao et al., CN200510200423.9); preparation of treatment and / or preven...
