1,2:5,6-Di-0-isopropylidene-o-mannitol (1) is the most important source of o-glyceraldehyde derivatives which are usedIe widely in synthesis. The formation of 1 from o-mannitol (2) has been studied severally"5. All of the syntheses require the separation of 1 from the accompanying 1,2:3,4:5,6\_tria

✦ Synopsis
Three different methods of acetonation of D-mannitol using (a) acetone and zinc chloride, (6), 2,2_dimethoxypropane, l,Zdimethoxyethane, and tin(I1) chloride, and (c) 2-methoxypropene, N, N-dimethylformamide, and p-toluenesulfonic acid were studied in detail and compared, using gas-liquid chromatographic techniques. In each reaction, isomeric diacetals are formed, but method a gives the 1,2:5,6_diacetal in the highest yield (63%). Methods b and c give a more complex mixture of acetals than proposed in the literature, and both methods are less economical than n. A new 1,2:3,6:4,5-tri-O-isopropylidene-D-mannitol could be separated, and its graded hydrolysis was compared to that of the 1,2:3,4:5,6-D-iacetal.
