    Abstract: Fluid alkyl metal salts of phenylglycine and of phenylglycine-o-carboxylic acid are prepd. by (a) the stepwise saponification of the corresponding nitriles with aq. alkaline waste mother liquors, in the presence of aniline, at between 50 degrees C and b.pt. and (b) evaporation of the reaction mixt. The mother liquors are obtd. from alkali hydroxide/alkali amide melts and contain (by wt. wrt mother liquor) 7-30% NaOH/KOH mixt., 20% Na2CO3/K2CO3 and opt. 10% other components, in addition to smaller quantities of coloured components and organic decompsn. prods. The phenylglycine salt is used as the raw material for indigo prepn. Fluid, mixed phenylglycine salts are obtd. which form less dust in use than Na salts, prepd. by saponifying with NaOH solutions. Use of waste solutions reduces environmental pollution.

    Abstract: Prodn. of alkali metal salts (I) of 2,4-dihydroxyquinoline (II) is effected by cyclisation of alkali metal salts (III) of N-acetylanthranilic acid (IV) by adding anhydrous (III) to a NaOH/KOH/NaNH2 melt at 150-175, pref. 168-172 degrees C. The melt is then dissolved in water and cooled so that the mono-Na salt (Ia) crystallises out. Typically, (III) was prepd. by evaporating a paste of (IV) and NaOH soln. to dryness, then added to a NaOH/KOH/NaNH2 melt at 150 degrees C and reacted at 0.8-1.2 bar and max 170 degrees C. The (Ia) yield was 90%, cf. 76% if the temp. was allowed to rise to 180-185 degrees C. Pure (II) was obtd. from the first prod., whereas the second prod. gave discoloured (II) on acidification. (II) is a valuable starting material for the prodn. of pigment dyestuffs. The use of (III) instead of free (IV) leads to the formation of a prod. of better quality, which gives higher yields of (II).
