Chelidonic acid is a heterocyclic organic dicarboxylic acid . It has a pyran framework.

history

While investigating the herb and the roots of the celandine , JMA Probst discovered chelidonic acid in 1839. Lerch (1846), Hutstein (1851) and Wilde (1863) subsequently published the results of their research.

presentation

To produce chelidonic acid, acetone is first reacted in a double Claisen condensation with diethyl oxalate . Sodium ethanolate is conveniently used as the base . The resulting 2,4,6-trioxo-1,7-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester can then be cyclized to chelidonic acid using aqueous hydrochloric acid .

Synthesis of chelidonic acid

properties

Chelidonic acid is a colorless and odorless solid that melts at 265 ° C. It dissolves poorly in water.

Reactions

By reduction , chelidonic acid can be used to produce 2,6-pyranedicarboxylic acids. A palladium catalyst , for example, can be used for the reduction .

Reduction of chelidonic acid

Chelidonic acid reacts with amines to form hydropyridinedicarboxylic acid derivatives. Chelidamic acid can be obtained from chelidonic acid by reacting it with ammonia .

Reaction of chelidonic acid with ammonia

If primary amines (e.g. ethylamine ) are used instead of ammonia , N - alkylated pyridine derivatives can be obtained:
