Description
The following examples are illustrative but not limitative of the present invention. All temperatures are stated in degrees Centigrade unless otherwise indicated.
EXAMPLE 1
(2R,3R,4R,5R)-Mannitol-1,2;5,6-diacetonide
A mixture of 546 g powdered D-Mannitol (3.0 mol), p-toluenesulfonic acid (3.0 g) and 780 g dimethoxypropane (7.5 mol) in 900 ml dry DMSO was stirred at ambient temperature under anhydrous conditions. Within 30 min-1 hr, all the mannitol had dissolved. After 16 hours the reaction was poured into 900 ml saturated NaHCO.sub.3 solution and then was diluted further with 2 liters H.sub.2 O. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (1.times.4.5 l; 3.times.3 l) and the extracts were washed in turn with H.sub.2 O (3.times.1.5 l). The combined dried (Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3) EtOAc layers were concentrated in vacuo (bath temp .about.45.degree.) until the residue had solidified. The residue was then heated to reflux to redissolve the solids and the solution was diluted with 8 liters of hot hexane. The mixture was allowed to cool slowly overnight and the resulting crystalline material was filtered off and washed with an ether-hexane mixture (1:3; 4.times.500 ml) to give (2R,3R,4R,5R)-mannitol-1,2,5,6-diacetonide, mp 115.degree.-119.degree..
The mother liquors were concentrated to dryness. A solution of the resulting residue in ether (300 ml) was diluted with about 1.6 liters of hexane. This yielded additional diacetonide, mp 119.degree.-120.degree..
EXAMPLE 2
(2S)-3-Isopropylamino-1,2-propanediol acetonide from (2R,3R,4R,5R)-Mannitol-1,2;5,6-diacetonide via the imine
Pb(OAc).sub.4 (263 g, 0.59 mol) was dispersed in 1500 ml dry benzene under argon. To the rapidly stirred mixture 140 g of the diacetonide was added in 5-10 g portions over 15 minutes and then further 1 g portions of diacetonide were added until the reaction gave a negative test for oxidant (KI-starch paper). A total of 150 g of acetonide (140 g+10.times.1 g) was used. The mixture was filtered through Celite and the filter cake was washed with 2.times.100 ml portions of dry benzene. The filtrate was stirred with 300 g anhydrous K.sub.2 CO.sub.3 for 30 minutes to neutralize HOAc which has produced in the oxidation. After a second filtration through Celite, the solution was treated with 450 ml isopropylamine and 300 gr of K.sub.2 CO.sub.3. After stirring for 30 min., the mixture was filtered and the filtrate was hydrogenated over 15 g 10% Pd/C (1 atmos; 23.degree.). The reaction essentially stoppped after the uptake of 26.4 liters of H.sub.2. The catalyst was removed by filtration and concentration of the filtrate furnished the amine.

Reaction was then stirred at 10.degree.-15.degree. for 30 min whereupon it was diluted with 1.5 l brine. The layers were separated and the aqueous layers were extracted with ether (3.times.500 ml). The organic layers were washed in turn with brine (2.times.500 ml) and then were combined, dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4), and evaporated to give the N-mesylate as an oil.
