Benefits of technology

This need is met by the present invention. It has now been discovered that the purity and yield of L-tyrosine derived diphenol compounds prepared by carbodiimide mediated coupling reactions can be improved significantly by utilizing a carbodiimide capable of forming a water-soluble urea by-product in a reaction mixture based on a water-miscible organic solvent. Upon completion of the coupling reaction, combining the reaction mixture with water will precipitate the diphenol product as a water-immiscible organic phase with most of the urea by-product of the carbodiimide remaining in the water-miscible reaction mixture. Any urea by-product remaining in the diphenol phase may be removed by backwashing the organic phase with an aqueous extraction medium.

Problems solved by technology

The purification of the L-tyrosine derived diphenols has proved to be difficult.
Although the purity of the crude diphenol improves significantly, the final purification of the compound remains problematic.
The complete removal of DCU by extraction and / or precipitation techniques has not been achieved, which is consistent with previous reports indicating that DCU is difficult to remove from a variety of materials.
However, upon scale-up, several disadvantages become evident, including a reduction in yield, the need to use large amounts of organic solvents as eluents, and the inherent difficulties of large scale column chromatography.
However, the process is not applicable to the synthesis of the L-tyrosine-derived diphenols of this application since the urea by-product remains soluble in the reaction solvent to an appreciable extent.

example 1

PREPARATION OF DTH

Tyrosine hexyl ester (9.63 g, 36.3 mmol) and Dat (6.04 g, 36.3 mmol) were placed in a three-necked round bottom flask with a magnetic stir bar. The flask was sealed and flushed with nitrogen. 60 mL of freshly distilled THF was added by syringe. The reaction mixture was chilled in an ice bath for 10 minutes. Then EDCI.cndot.HCL (7.67 g, 40.0 mmol) was added while the nitrogen blanket was maintained. The reaction mixture stirred for one hour in an ice bath and for 19 hours at room temperature.

The reaction mixture was poured with stirring into 600 mL of water. An oil formed, which was removed by extraction into 120 mL of methylene chloride. The organic layer was washed with two portions of 200 mL of 0.1M Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3, two portions of 200 mL of saturated NaCl, two portions of 200 mL of 0.1M of citric acid, and two portions of 200 mL of saturated NaCl. All aqueous layers were backwashed with 10 mL of methylene chloride. The organic phases were combined, dried over ...

Abstract

A method for preparing diphenol compounds, which method includes the steps of coupling a hydroxyphenyl carboxylic acid with a L-tyrosine ester in a water-miscible organic reaction solvent containing a carbodiimide capable of forming a water-solvent urea by-product, thereby forming a diphenol reaction product; and combining the reaction mixture with an amount of water effective to precipitate the diphenol as a water-immiscible organic phase, so that a water-immiscible organic phase is formed containing the diphenol reaction product. New diphenol monomers and polymers polymerized therefrom are also disclosed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to methods by which L-tyrosine derived diphenol monomers may be synthesized with significantly improved yield and purity. The present invention also relates to new tyrosine-derived diphenol monomers and polymers prepared therefrom.Diphenols are monomeric starting materials for polycarbonates, polyiminocarbonates, polyarylates, polyurethanes, and the like. Commonly owned U.S. Pat. No. 5,099,060 discloses amino acid-derived diphenol compounds, useful in the polymerization of polycarbonates and polyiminocarbonates. The resulting polymers are useful as degradable polymers in general, and as tissue compatible bioerodible materials for medical uses, in particular. The suitability of these polymers for this end use application is the result of their polymerization from diphenols derived from the naturally occurring amino acid, L-tyrosine. Commonly owned U.S. Pat. No. 5,216,115 discloses polyarylates polymerized from L-tyrosine derive...
