Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A method for preparing a hemiacetal of the structure ##STR30## which comprises reducing a dione (mesoanhydride) of the structure ##STR31## to form a diol of the structure ##STR32## chloroformylating the diol by reacting same with phosgene to form the alcohol of the structure ##STR33## reacting the alcohol with pyridine to form the cyclic carbonate of the structure ##STR34## reacting the cyclic carbonate with an alkanol to form an alcohol of the structure ##STR35## reacting the alcohol with a protecting compound containing a sulfonyl group to form the protected alcohol of the structure ##STR36## wherein "Protecting group" contains a sulfonyl moiety, reacting the protected alcohol with a cyanide to form the cyanocarbonate of the structure ##STR37## and reducing the cyano carbonate to form the hemiacetal.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
124 words
A method for preparing a hemiacetal of the structure ##STR30## which comprises reducing a dione (mesoanhydride) of the structure ##STR31## to form a diol of the structure ##STR32## chloroformylating the diol by reacting same with phosgene to form the alcohol of the structure ##STR33## reacting the alcohol with pyridine to form the cyclic carbonate of the structure ##STR34## reacting the cyclic carbonate with an alkanol to form an alcohol of the structure ##STR35## reacting the alcohol with a protecting compound containing a sulfonyl group to form the protected alcohol of the structure ##STR36## wherein "Protecting group" contains a sulfonyl moiety, reacting the protected alcohol with a cyanide to form the cyanocarbonate of the structure ##STR37## and reducing the cyano carbonate to form the hemiacetal.
