    Abstract: PURPOSE:To efficiently obtain the titled compound useful as a food additive, etc., in high purity by simple operation, by using isopropyl acetate as an extracting solvent in separating lactic acid from a solution containing the lactic acid by extraction. CONSTITUTION:Isopropyl acetate is used as an extracting solvent to separate and obtain lactic acid from a lactic acid-containing aqueous solution. The extracting operation is carried out normally at 10-80 deg.C, preferably at 15-45 deg.C. The amount of the isopropyl acetate used varies with the concentration of the lactic acid or extraction ratio in the extracting operation; however, a volume of 1-50 times based on water in the lactic acid-containing aqueous solution is normally preferred. Operation temperature in separating and recovering the lactic acid from the lactic acid-containing isopropyl acetate after the extraction is normally 10-80 deg.C, especially preferably 15-45 deg.C.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain a high-purity lactide useful as a raw material for polylactic acid readily and in high yield without using high purity lactic acid by reacting an alkaline (earth) metallic salt of 2-halopropionic acid as a raw material in a nonaqueous solvent under heating.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To economically and efficiently reduce corrosion of an apparatus and obtain lactic acid with a low content of impurities, such as metallic components, normally in high yield, by hydrolyzing 2-chloropropionic acid in the presence of an alkali under specific reaction condition. CONSTITUTION:2-Chloropropionic acid is reacted and hydrolyzed in the presence of an alkali at 100-130 deg.C for 0.5-4hr and then at 130-180 deg.C for 0.5-3hr under autogenous pressure in a hermetically sealed vessel to afford the aimed lactic acid useful as an industrial chemical, food additive, etc. Hydroxides, oxides or salts of alkali (earth) metals with weak acids, such as NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2, CaO or Na2CO3, are preferred as the alkali. The amount thereof used is about an equivalent amount based on the 2-chloropropionic acid, i.e. preferably 0.8-1.2mol. in the case of the NaOH or KOH and preferably 0.4-0.6mol. in the case of the Ca(OH)2, CaO or Na2CO3 based on 1mol. 2-chloropropionic acid.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain purified lactic acid useful as an industrial chemical and food additive, in high efficiency, by decoloring and purifying a colored crude lactic acid with activated carbon subjected to a specific treatment, thereby highly decoloring the lactic acid in one step. CONSTITUTION:Activated carbon to be cleaned is immersed in an aqueous solution of a carboxylic acid, preferably lactic acid, etc., stirred for several min-several hr, separated from the carboxylic acid solution and washed with a solvent or water preferably at normal temperature or under slight heating. The treated activated carbon is added to a colored crude lactic acid in an amount of 0.1-5wt.% (in the case of powdery activated carbon) based on the lactic acid on dry basis, stirred for about several min-3hr at normal temperature or under slight heating and separated from the mixture by filtration to obtain decolored and purified lactic acid. The insufficient decoloring of lactic acid caused by the difference of the kind and lot of the activated carbon can be prevented and a decolored lactic acid free from contamination with metallic component and chloride can be produced.

Vinyl chloride, carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas are reacted with each other in the presence of the prepared catalyst solution to obtain 2- chloropropionaldehyde (the second reaction step). The second step reaction is preferably performed in the presence of an organic acid and/or a base, water or a mixture of the organic acid, the base and the water.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain the title compound in high purity and yield, by hydrolyzing high-purity 2-chloropropionic acid in the presence of a specific amount of a strong alkali and a large excess of water and oxidizing the resultant aqueous solution of a high-purity alkali lactate with an O2-containing gas in the presence of an oxidation catalyst in the liquid phase. CONSTITUTION:High-purity 2-chloropropionic acid is hydrolyzed in the presence of water in an amount of >=0.5kg based on 1mol 2-chloropropionic acid and a strong alkali in an amount of 2 mol based on 1 mol 2-chloropropionic acid at 90-200 deg.C to provide an aqueous solution containing a high-purity alkali lactate. The resultant aqueous solution is then oxidized with an O2-containing gas in the presence of an oxidation catalyst (especially preferably platinum and/or palladium and an element selected from lead, tin, tellurium, indium and bismuth or a compound thereof) at 40-100 deg.C in the liquid phase to afford the aimed alkali pyruvate. Pyruvic acids are useful as a raw material for amino acids and medicines.
