Process for obtaining N-acetyl homocysteine ​​thiolactone from dl-homocystine by electrochemical methods.

摘要

METHOD FOR OBTAINING HOMOCYSTEINE N-acetyl homocysteine ​​thiolactone of formula (I), FROM DL-homocystine BY ELECTROCHEMICAL METHODS. An aqueous DL-homocystine SOLUTION AND MINERAL ACID electrolyzed in a cell ELECTROLITICA WITH SEPARATION catholyte and anolyte. The catholyte consists of said solution, and anolyte is a solution SALINA anyone. Electrodes can be flat, DIMENSIONAL, FORMING COMPACTO or fluidised bed. TENSION CURRENT is between 10 MA / cm2 and 2 A / cm2; The temperature is between 0 and 90 C. The solution obtained in the catholyte is concentrated, dried and acetylated to obtain compound (I), with a high degree of purity. THE COMPOUND OF THE INVENTION MAY BE USED FOR LIVER DISEASE AND THERAPY AS expectorant.
