`.''`' The hydroxylamine is preferably used in aqueous solution, however, other solvents, for example, lower aliphatic alcohols, ethers or aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene or toluene, can also be used. The compounds of general formula (,~ (V) can be converted into compounds of general formula ~
,,!jj within a period of 0.5 to 2 hours by heating to a temperature ~ -of from 50 to 100C., preferably in the range of from 70 to 80C. It is also possible to start from compounds of general formula (YII) and to convert these directly into compounds of -~
general formula (III) with hydroxylamine at a temperature above "
50C., preferably of from 70 to 80C., in which case compounds -; of general formula (V) are formed and then immediately reacted further.
For the conversion of the compounds into the cyclic amino acids of general formula (I), the cyclic N-sulphonyloxy-imides of general formula (II) are subjected to a Lossen rearrangement by heating in aqueous solution in the presence of ;~
an equimolar or excess amount of an alkali, preferably a 10%
aqueous sodium or potassium hydroxide solution? for 0.5 to 2 20 hours at 100C., or by heating in a lower alcohol, for example y methanol or ethanol, in the presence of a tertiary amine or an; alcoholate at reflux temperature.
1 In the first case, the reaction mixture, after cooling, is acidified, preferably with concentrated hydro-chloric acid, and evaporated. For the separation of inorganic components, the evaporation residue is extracted with absolute ethanol and the amino acid salt, which crystallizes out from the ethanol upon concentrating, is converted into the free . amino acid by means of an appropriate basic ion exchanger in 30 the OH form. Only small amounts of lactam are isolated from j the mother liquor, which can be converted into the free amino ~;~ 5 ` 10854Z0 ,1, acid. The lactams or urethanes obtained in the case of the ~; second process variant are preferably converted into the corre-sponding amino acids by means of hydrochloric acid.
''l ~ When in the cyclic amino acids of formula I, Rl is to !,~,S~ be a lower alkyl radical, the carboxyl group of the amino acids obtained is esterified under known protocols. Most simply, the reaction can be carried out by dissolving a free amino acid of ~` general formula (I) or a salt thereof in an excess of the alco-.s hol serving as the esterification component and the solution then saturated with hydrogen chlor;de. The corresponding amino acid ester hydrochloride is thus directly obtained. If it is desired to work without an excess of alcohol, then it is possi-ble to employ the esterification methods known from amino acid i chemistry, with masking of the amino group.
