Page/Page column 14-15, (2008/06/13)
The present invention relates to processes for the preparation of (ω- aminoalkylainino)alkyl halides, their conversion to S-ω-(ω-aminoalkylamino)alkyl phosphothioates, and purification of the crystalline products of the reaction. The preparation process for the (ω-aminoalkylamino)alkyl halides comprises contacting an appropriate alcohol with a brominating agent in the presence of a sulfone solvent under temperature and pressure conditions suitable to effect salt formation without subsequent premature precipitation. The process is especially useful for converting (ω-aminoalkylamino)ethyl alcohol to amifostine.
