EXAMPLE

Example 1. Preparation of Compound Represented by Formula a

[0059] ##STR00009##

[0060] 32 g (368 mmol) of 3-butene-1,2-diol was dissolved in 200 ml of DI water, and 76 g (404 mmol) of Na.sub.2S.sub.2O.sub.5 was injected thereto. Sodium hydroxide was added thereto, and the reaction was performed at 65 C. for 7 hours while maintaining pH to a level of 7.0. After finishing the reaction, the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, and distillation under a reduced pressure was performed. If the solution started to be milky and opaque, the distillation under a reduced pressure was stopped, and methanol was injected. Then, the reaction solution was filtered, and the filtrate solution was distilled under a reduced pressure to precipitate a white solid. The precipitate was dried in a vacuum oven of 60 C., to obtain 77 g (purity: 90%) of sodium 3,4-dihydroxybutane sulfonate.

[0061] 30 g (160 mmol, purity 90%) of 3,4-sodium dihydroxybutane sulfonate was suspended in 200 ml of CHCl.sub.3, 0.58 g (10 mmol, Aldrich Co.) of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was added thereto, and 37.57 g (320 mmol, Aldrich Co.) of thionyl chloride was added little by little dropwisely, followed by reacting at 65 C. for 7 hours. After finishing the reaction, the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature and filtered, and the filtrate solution was concentrated under a reduced pressure.

[0062] To the solution concentrated under a reduced pressure, 50 g (1.57 mol, Aldrich Co.) of methanol was added, and reaction was performed at room temperature for 2 hours.

[0063] After finishing the reaction, the reaction solution was concentrated under a reduced pressure. To the solution thus concentrated, 50 ml of ethyl acetate and 30 ml of water were added and stirred. An organic layer (ethyl acetate layer) was extracted, washed with water and then concentrated again to obtain 20 g (yield: 83%) of a compound represented by Formula a (5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-oxathiolan-2,2-dioxide) as a transparent liquid.
