The present invention provides processes for producing amine-containing compounds such as diammonium salts and amino acid derivatives comprising the steps of subjecting a salt of an amine bearing an unsaturated group to a self-metathesis reaction with itself to produce a diammonium salt or to a cross-metathesis with a suitable α,β-unsaturated acid, ester or amide to form an amino acid salt or a derivative thereof. The salts produced by the metathesis reactions can then be subjected to hydrogenation to reduce the double bond which is formed in the metathesis reaction.
本发明提供了生产胺含化合物的工艺,例如二
铵盐和
氨基酸衍
生物的步骤,包括将带有不饱和基团的胺盐置于自我交换反应中,以产生二
铵盐,或与适当的α,β-不饱和酸、酯或酰胺进行交叉交换反应,形成
氨基酸盐或其衍
生物。然后可以将通过交换反应产生的盐进行加氢,以减少在交换反应中形成的双键。
