Procedure

Isomannide (40) (10 g, 68.49 mmol) and p-toluenesulphonyl chloride (6.53 g, 34.25 mmol) were dissolved in a mixture of carbon tetrachloride (50 mL), dichloromethane (5 mL) and water (40 mL). The flask was cooled to 0° C. and a solution of potassium hydroxide (1.92 g, 34.25 mmol) in water (5 mL) added dropwise over 30 minutes with stirring. The resulting biphasic mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 7 hours. Then off-white precipitate was collected by filtration in vacuo then partitioned between dichloromethane (30 mL) and water (10 mL). The organic phase was washed with brine (2×10 mL) then dried (Na2SO4), filtered and reduced in vacuo to leave a colourless solid. Recrystallisation from carbon tetrachloride gave monotosylate (50) as colourless granules (3.92 g, 38%).
