To a solution of (2S,3R,4S,5R,6R)-6-(acetoxymethyl)-2-(3-(4-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)benzyl)-4-chlorophenyl)-2-methoxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triyl triacetate (44.0 g, 0.064 mol) in acetonitrile (200 mL), water (1.15 mL, 0.064 mol), triethylsilane (32.45 mL, 0.203 mol) and borontrifluoroetherate (15.94 mL, 0.127 mol) were added at 10° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at r.t. for 16 h. Additional amounts of triethylsilane (3.25 mL, 0.020 mol) and borontrifluoroetherate (1.59 mL, 0.013 mol) were added at 10° C. and heated at 30° C. for 6 h. Ethylacetate (1 L) was added to the reaction mixture, washed it with saturated NaHCO3 solution (2×500 mL), water (500 mL) and brine (500 mL) successively. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and volatiles were evaporated in vacuo. The residue obtained was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 4:6 Ethyl acetate:Pet.Ether) to provide title compound (30 g, 86.27%) as off-white solid.
