Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical manufacturing intermediates, and more specifically to a method for synthesizing cysteine hydrochloride. Background Technology
[0002] Cysteine hydrochloride is a white crystalline powder at room temperature and is readily soluble in water. It is also an important chemical raw material and pharmaceutical intermediate with a wide range of applications. It can be used not only in the production of cosmetics, animal additives, and heavy metal ion chelating agents, but also as a raw material for the preparation of anti-ulcer drugs such as ranitidine and cimetidine.
[0003] There are currently three main methods for preparing cysteine hydrochloride: (1) The ethanolamine-sulfuric acid-thiazoline method involves the following steps: ethanolamine reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid to produce 2-aminoethyl sulfate, which then reacts with carbon disulfide to obtain α-mercaptothiazoline. Finally, α-mercaptothiazoline is hydrolyzed in the presence of hydrochloric acid to obtain cysteine hydrochloride. This method has a long hydrolysis cycle, typically exceeding 15 days. Furthermore, a large amount of hydrogen sulfide gas is released during hydrolysis. Hydrogen sulfide is highly toxic and has a strong irritating odor, causing significant environmental pollution. It cannot be directly discharged, and complete recovery requires multiple processing steps, significantly increasing the consumption of personnel, equipment, and raw materials. Costs cannot be effectively controlled.
[0004] (2) 2 Ethanolamine-sulfuric acid-cycloethylamine method, the steps are as follows: ethanolamine reacts with sulfuric acid to obtain 2-aminoethyl sulfate, which is then heated and distilled with sodium hydroxide to obtain cycloethylamine. Cycloethylamine is passed through dry hydrogen sulfide gas in anhydrous ethanol environment and undergoes an addition reaction to generate cysteine hydrochloride. This method is complicated to operate, and the reaction conditions are extremely demanding when adding hydrogen sulfide, and the yield is low.
[0005] In view of the above, this application is hereby submitted. Summary of the Invention

After the reaction is complete, the water in the reaction system is concentrated, ethanol is added, and the mixture is stirred for 1-3 hours before filtration.

Dichloromethane is then added, and the mixture is stirred for 0.5-2 hours. The liquid is then separated, and the organic phase is concentrated to obtain a white solid. The alkaline solution includes at least one of sodium hydroxide solution, sodium carbonate solution, triethylamine solution, sodium methoxide solution, and sodium ethoxide solution.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages and beneficial effects: This invention provides a method for synthesizing cysteamine hydrochloride. The synthetic route is simple, the raw materials are readily available and the cost is low, and the reaction conditions are mild. The main method involves first reacting α-mercaptothiazoline and 2-aminoethyl sulfate to generate the intermediate S,S'-bis(2-aminoethyl ester) dithiocarboxylic acid, followed by hydrolysis of the intermediate S,S'-bis(2-aminoethyl ester). This replaces the traditional process of directly hydrolyzing α-mercaptothiazoline. Direct hydrolysis of α-mercaptothiazoline yields only one molecule of cysteamine hydrochloride from one molecule of α-mercaptothiazoline, and also produces one molecule of hydrogen sulfide as a byproduct. In contrast, this process yields two molecules of cysteamine hydrochloride from one molecule of α-mercaptothiazoline, without generating hydrogen sulfide. This not only improves atom utilization and reduces raw material costs but is also more environmentally friendly, making it well-suited for industrial production. Detailed Implementation

[0037] Comparative Example 1: Preparation of cysteine hydrochloride using the 1-ethanolamine-sulfuric acid-thiazoline method, including the following steps: The method for preparing thiazoline is the same as in Example 1. After obtaining thiazoline, 20g of thiazoline was added to 120g of concentrated hydrochloric acid and refluxed in a high-pressure reactor at 150℃ for 15 days.

[0039] In summary, the preparation method of cysteamine hydrochloride (N-vinylcarbamate benzyl ester) provided in this invention has a simple synthetic route, readily available and low-cost raw materials, and mild reaction conditions. It primarily involves first reacting α-mercaptothiazoline and 2-aminoethyl sulfate to generate the intermediate dithiocarbamate S,S'-bis(2-aminoethyl ester), followed by hydrolysis of the intermediate S,S'-bis(2-aminoethyl ester). This replaces the traditional process of directly hydrolyzing α-mercaptothiazoline. Direct hydrolysis of α-mercaptothiazoline yields only one molecule of cysteamine hydrochloride from one molecule of α-mercaptothiazoline, along with one molecule of hydrogen sulfide as a byproduct. In contrast, this process yields two molecules of cysteamine hydrochloride from one molecule of α-mercaptothiazoline without generating hydrogen sulfide. This not only improves atom utilization and reduces raw material costs but is also more environmentally friendly, making it well-suited for industrial production.
