METODO DI SINTESI DELL'ACIDO GLICOCOLICO.

摘要

Process for preparing glycocholic acid comprising the following steps: a) making a mixed anhydride of cholic acid through the suspension of cholic acid in acetone or in aqueous acetone in presence of a base, and subsequent reaction with an alkyl chloroformate; b) aminolysis of the so obtained mixed anhydride of cholic acid with an aqueous solution of a glycine ester, resulting in an ester of glycocholic acid; c) hydrolysis of the ester of glycocholic acid thus obtained through the treatment with aqueous soda or aqueous potassium and precipitation of glycocholic acid through acidification of the corresponding sodium salt.
