Description

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF LIQUID 2-HYDROXY-METHYLTHIOBUTYRIC ACID Abstract of the Disclosure A process for the preparation of 2-hydroxy-4- methylthiobutyric acid is disclosed. 2-Hydroxy-4- methylthiobutyronitrile is hydrolyzed with mineral acid to produce an aqueous hydrolyzate containing 2-hydroxy- 4-methylthiobutyric acid and substantially free of unreacted 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyronitrile and 2- hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyramide. 2-Hydroxy-4- methylthiobutyric acid is recovered from the hydrolyzate by extraction. Extraction may be carried out without prior separation from the hydrolyzate solution of any substantial fraction of solids present therein, and 2- hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid may be recovered from the extract by steam distillation. The extraction solvent has a boiling point of between about 60°C and about 200°C, and the distribution coefficients for 2- hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid between extract and raffinate, and between extract specimen and wash water, favor transfer to and retention of the acid product in the organic phase.
