  • Patent number: 8143400
    Abstract: An industrially acceptable process for the preparation and purification of cis-2-methylspiro(1,3-oxathiolane-5,3?)quiniclidine from a cis/trans mixture of isomers. Treatment of the mixture with an organic sulfonic acid generates a less soluble acid addition salt that is enriched in the cis-isomer. Recrystallization or pulping using various organic solvents allows for enrichment of the cis-isomer by filtration. These new sulfonic acid salts of the cis-isomer of 2-methylspiro(1,3-oxathiolane-5,3?)quiniclidine prepared according to the present invention could be further converted into the hydrochloride salt by any known procedures such as treatment with a base and then hydrochloric acid salt formation or exchange of the sulfonic acid salt with hydrochloric acid.
