Reaction Steps

At room temperature 2.1 ml bromine was added in 45 minutes to a mixture of 6.7 g (40 mmol) 6-chloro-2,4,6-trideoxy-D-erythro-hexose (compound I; prepared according to the method described in WO-A-96/31615) and 6.7 g sodium bicarbonate in 40 ml methylene chloride and 10 ml water. CO2 gas escaped, while the pH remained at 5. After stirring for one hour, according to gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) the starting material had been fully converted. The bromine excess was neutralized with solid Na2S2O3. After phase separation the water phase was extracted with 2 times 100 ml ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4 and filtered. After rotavap evaporation 5.5 g yellow oil was obtained (82% yield of the compound of formula (2) with X=Cl relative to compound I).
