Reaktionsschritte

1,2:3,4:5,6-Tri-o-isopropylidene-d-mannitol is prepared by rapidly stirring with a mechanical stirrer, of 40 g of mannitol and 500 ml of anhydrous acetone in the presence of 4.0 ml of concentrated (18M) sulfuric acid as a catalyst for 24 hours in a 2 liter flask. The sulfuric acid is neutralized with about 6.8 g anhydrous sodium carbonate and the acetone is evaporated by vacuum distillation at about 30° C. The remaining yellowish oil is diluted with an equal volume of cold water in order to provide the crystalline product. The crystals are filtered, dried, and used without further purification.
