Protsess O-(3-amino-2-hüdroksüpropüül) hüdroksüümhappehalogeniidide valmistamiseks

The present invention relates to a novel process for preparing O-(3-amino-2-hydroxy-propyl)-hydroxymic acid halides of formula (I) by reacting a carboxamide oxime of formula (II) wherein R1 is as specified above with reactive 3-amino-2-hydroxy-propane derivative diazotizing the O-substituted carboxamide oxime thus obtained with sodium nitrite in the presence of hydrogen halide, decomposing the diazonium salt and if desired, separating the optically active enantiomers and/or reacting the resulting base with an organic or mineral acid wherein the carboxamide oxime of formula (II) is reacted with a 3-hydroxy azetidinium salt of formula (III) wherein R2 and R3 are a defined above and Y- is a salt forming anion, in a lower alcoholic, preferably ethanolic medium optionally containing water and made alkaline with an alkali hydroxide, and before diazotizing the O-substituted carboxamide oxime intermediate obtained, the reaction mixture is neutralised and the organic solvent is removed. The process according to the invention provides the compounds of formula (I) with higher yield compared to the prior art processes.
