Embodiment 1

[0028] Example 1: Preparation of lysergic acid without recycling mother liquor

[0029] Paspalic acid (100.0 g) (98.5% by titration) was dissolved in 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1000 mL), and sodium hydroxide (150 g) was added to the solution. A two-phase mixture was observed to form. The resulting biphasic mixture was then mixed for about 4 hours at about 50°C under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (1000 mL), cooled to 10° C., and acidified to pH about 3.5 with 40% sulfuric acid. A suspension of crystalline lysergic acid sulfate formed and was mixed at about 5°C for about 2 hours. The crystalline lysergic acid sulfate was filtered off, extracted with a 95:5 (v / v) mixture of methanol and ammonia (3 x 500 mL), the combined extract was evaporated to about 200 g, diluted with water (200 mL), and crystallized at about 5 °C 24 hours. Crystalline lysergic acid was then isolated and washed with water (100 mL) and methanol (3 x 100 mL). After drying...

Embodiment 2

[0031] Example 2: Preparation of Lysergic Acid with Mother Liquor Circulation

[0032] Sodium hydroxide (50 g) was dissolved in water (800 mL) and 200 mL of the concentrated mother liquor from Example 1. To this solution was added paspalic acid (100.0 g) (98.5% by titration) and finally sodium hydroxide (150 g). A biphasic reaction mixture was then formed and mixed for about 4 hours at about 50°C under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (1000 mL), cooled to 10 °C, and acidified to about pH 3.5 with 40% sulfuric acid. The resulting suspension was mixed for 2 hours at about 5°C and the crystalline lysergic acid sulfate was filtered off. Lysergic acid sulfate was extracted with a 95:5 (v / v) mixture of methanol and ammonia (3×500 mL). The combined extracts were evaporated to about 200 g, diluted with water (200 mL) and crystallized at about 5°C for 24 hours. Crystalline lysergic acid was then isolated and washed with water (100 mL) and methanol (3 x 100 mL)....

Abstract

Lysergic acid is formed in high yields and high quality by isomerizing paspalic acid in a phase separated mixture formed by paspalic acid and a concentrated aqueous metal hydroxide solution.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a process for producing and purifying lysergic acid by isomerizing paspalic acid in high yield. Background of the invention [0002] Lysergic acid is part of the basic structure of natural ergot alkaloids. It is manufactured on a large scale as an intermediate in the synthesis of some semi-synthetic ergot alkaloids which have found utility as pharmaceuticals, such as ergometrine, methylergometrine, methysergide and nicotinyl. [0003] Paspalic acid is also an ergot alkaloid that is readily obtained by fermentation. Various methods are known for converting paspalic acid to lysergic acid. But the current conversion method leads to the formation of unwanted impurities such as epimer-isolysergic acid, and no simple method for removing the isolysergic acid impurity has been suggested. [0004] Lysergic acid, paspalic acid, and isolysergic acid are natural chiral compounds with R configuration at the 5-position chiral c...
