Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, and more specifically, to an L-seleno-methylselenocysteine and its continuous production method and system. Background Technology
[0002] Selenium is an essential trace element for human life and serves as the active site for many enzymes. Selenium deficiency can impair many physiological functions and even lead to serious diseases. Selenium naturally exists in the soil and is accumulated in food through plants. Humans primarily obtain selenium from food; however, approximately 72% of my country's soil is selenium-deficient, with 30% being severely deficient. Long-term living in selenium-deficient areas can damage the immune system and induce various diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Therefore, supplementing selenium through food can enhance human health. Selenium can be divided into inorganic and organic selenium. Inorganic selenium includes sodium selenite and sodium selenate, while organic selenium is mostly formed through biological transformation into amino acid-bound organic compounds, such as selenomethionine, selenocysteine, and L-methylselenocysteine. Inorganic selenium has low absorption rates and high toxicity; currently, organic selenium is widely used as a dietary supplement. L-selenomethylselenocysteine has been approved as a food additive by the Ministry of Health of China.
[0003] Currently, the synthesis of L-seleno-methylselenocysteine is mostly done in small quantities, typically using serine and selenium powder as raw materials via a nucleophilic substitution reaction. This process often involves the use of toxic and odorous methylselenool and dimethyldiselenoether, and requires large quantities of expensive and hazardous reagents. The reaction procedures are cumbersome, time-consuming, and inefficient, resulting in a high price for L-seleno-methylselenocysteine.
