2-(Methylamino)ethanol → Rifamycin

関与物質

反応手順

10 g (0.13 mol) of N-methylethanolamine are added to a solution of 21 g (0.03 mol) of rifamycin-S in 20 ml of dioxan and the whole heated for 15 minutes on a boiling water bath. The batch is then evaporated to dryness in vacuo and the residue chromatographed on 2kg of silica gel, using chloroform as eluant. In addition to a dark-colored head zone, two strong, yellow-colored bands are observed. The eluate of the more slowly eluted band is evaporated and the residue crystallized from aqueous methanol. After three crystallizations from aqueous methanol there is obtained 3-N-methylethanol-amino)-rifamycin-SV in the form of coarse prisms melting at 218° C (with decomposition.
