Dianhydrohexitols Derived from Mannitol

Dianhydrohexitols Derived from Mannitol

IN an exhaustive study of the action of hydrochloric acid on mannitol, Montgomery and Wiggins1 isolated no fewer than four dianhydrohexitols from this reaction. These compounds were: (a) 1: 4-3: 6-dianhydromannitol (isomannide); (b) 1: 5-3: 6-dianhydromannitol (neomannide); (c) dianhydrohexitol (A),...

Zusammenfassung:IN an exhaustive study of the action of hydrochloric acid on mannitol, Montgomery and Wiggins1 isolated no fewer than four dianhydrohexitols from this reaction. These compounds were: (a) 1: 4-3: 6-dianhydromannitol (isomannide); (b) 1: 5-3: 6-dianhydromannitol (neomannide); (c) dianhydrohexitol (A), m.p. 118°, [α]D - 34°; and dianhydrohexitol (B), isolated only as its dimethanesulphonate, m.p. 113-114°. The constitution of the latter two compounds has not yet been determined.
