Embodiment 1

[0013] Add 5.0 g (25.7 mmol) of caffeine and 48.3 g (771.9 mmol, concentration of 80%) of hydrazine hydrate solution into the container in turn, install a reflux condenser, stir and raise the temperature to 118 ° C, keep the temperature for 12 hours, then cool and filter . The filter cake was dried at 90° C. for 2 hours in a blast drying oven, and then the obtained product was dissolved in 50 ml of water. Place it in a container, stir, and cool down to 0°C in an ice-water bath. Add 2ml of concentrated sulfuric acid (98%) to the solution, and slowly add sodium nitrite at 0°C until the reaction solution turns the starch potassium iodide test paper blue. Use 30% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution to adjust the pH value to neutral, cool to room temperature, and filter. Wash the filter cake with 10 ml of water, and dry the filter cake at 90° C. for 4 hours in a blast drying oven to obtain 2.2 g of the target product, theobromine, with a yield of 47.4%.

Embodiment 2

[0015] Add 10.0 grams (51.5 mmol) of caffeine and 112.8 grams (1802.9 mmol, concentration of 80%) of hydrazine hydrate solution into a 250ml four-necked flask in sequence, add a reflux condenser, stir and heat up to 115°C, keep the reaction for 14 hours, and cool ,filter. After drying the filter cake, the obtained product was dissolved in 100 ml of water. Put it in a container, stir, cool down to 3°C in an ice-water bath, add 4ml of concentrated sulfuric acid (98%), slowly add sodium nitrite at 3°C, until the reaction solution can make the starch potassium iodide test paper turn blue, use 30% sodium hydroxide Aqueous solution, adjust the pH value to be neutral, cool to room temperature, filter, wash the filter cake with 20ml of water, and dry the filter cake to obtain 4.2 g of the target product, theobromine, with a yield of 45.3%.

Embodiment 3

[0017] Add 20.0 grams (103.0 mmol) of caffeine and 257.5 grams (4118.8 mmol, concentration of 80%) of hydrazine hydrate solution into a 500ml four-neck flask in turn, add a reflux condenser, stir and heat up to 110°C, keep warm for 16 hours, cool ,filter. Dry the filter cake in a blast drying oven at 80°C for 3 hours, then dissolve the obtained product in 200ml of water, place it in a 500ml four-necked flask, stir it mechanically, cool it down to 5°C in an ice-water bath, and add concentrated sulfuric acid (98%) 8ml, slowly add sodium nitrite at 5°C, until the reaction solution can make the starch potassium iodide test paper turn blue, adjust the pH value to neutral with 30% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, cool to room temperature, filter, wash the filter cake with 40ml water , the filter cake was dried in a blast oven at 90°C for 4 hours to obtain 8.6 g of the target product, theobromine, with a yield of 46.3%.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing theobromine. The method comprises the following steps of: (a) weighing caffeine and hydrazine hydrate in a molar ratio of 1:(30-40), mixing the caffeine and the hydrazine hydrate, reacting for 12 to 16 hours at the temperature of between 110 and 120 DEG C, cooling, and filtering; and (b) drying a filter cake, dissolving in water, adding concentrated sulfuric acid and sodium nitrite at low temperature and performing deamination treatment, regulating the pH value till 7 by using an alkaline solution, cooling, filtering, and washing to obtain thetheobromine. Compared with the conventional process, the method has the advantages of short process route, high product yield, energy conservation, environment friendliness and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for synthesizing alkaloids, in particular to a method for synthesizing theobromine. Background technique [0002] Theobromine, scientific name 3,7-dimethylxanthine (3,7-dimethylxanthine), has diuretic, cardiac stimulation, vasodilation, smooth muscle relaxation and other effects; it is used as a bittering agent in food processing, but also Widely used in biochemical research, drug synthesis, etc. At present, there are two main methods of producing theobromine, one is extracted from cocoa beans or cocoa bean shells. The other is obtained from monomethylurea and cyanoacetic acid as starting materials through condensation reaction, ring closure reaction, nitrosation reaction, reduction reaction, acylation reaction, ring closure reaction, methylation reaction, and two recrystallizations Theobromine products. The former has the problem of high production cost, while the latter has the problem of complicated process, long...
