20130116457 | CLEAN, HIGH-YIELD PREPARATION OF S,S AND R,S AMINO ACID ISOSTERES - The present invention provides compounds and methods that can be used to convert the intermediate halomethyl ketones (HMKs), e.g., chloromethyl ketones, to the corresponding S,S- and R,S-diastereomers. More particularly, the present invention provides: (1) reduction methods; (2) inversion methods; and (3) methods involving the epoxidation of alkenes. Using the various methods of the present invention, the R,S-epoxide and the intermediary compounds can be prepared reliably, in high yields and in high purity. | 05-09-2013 |

20080275246 | PROCESS FOR HALOMETHYL ETHERS OF HYDROXYIMINOMETHYL QUATERNARY PYRIDINIUM SALTS - A halide salt of a 1-(hydroxyiminomethyl-1-pyridino)-3-(halomethyl)-2-oxapropane is prepared by adding a pyridinealdoxime to a bis-halomethylether in such a manner that the bis-halomethylether is maintained in excess throughout the addition. This procedure produces the halide salt of a 1-(hydroxyiminomethyl-1-pyridino)-3-(halomethyl)-2-oxapropane in high yield and purity, which facilitates its use as an intermediate in the manufacture of an asymmetrically substituted 1,3-di(1-pyridino)-2-oxapropane, a class of compounds that are generally useful antidotes to various toxic agents. A prominent member of the class is the dimethylsulfonate salt of 1-(2-hydroxyiminomethyl-1-pyridino)-3-(4-carbamoyl-1-pyridino)-2-oxapropane. The use of mercaptoalkyl-functionalized polymers is disclosed as a preferred metal ion scavenger for a final purification step in the manufacture of these compounds. | 11-06-2008 |
