Procedure
A solution of the more mobile fraction of 1-(5-(2-hydroxyethylsulfonyl)-4-n-propoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl-4-oxo-butan-1-yl(R)-(O)-methylmandelate (200 mg, 0.300 mmole) in dry THF (15 mL) at 0° C. under nitrogen atmosphere was treated with lithium aluminum hydride (20 mg, 0.5 mmole), and stirred for 2 hours. After the usual workup, the crude (1S, 4RS)-1-(5-(2-hydroxyethylsulfonyl)-4-n-propoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-butan-1,4-diol was dissolved in chloroform (2 mL, stabilized with ethanol), chilled to 0° C., stirred, and treated with 10% (v/v) of trifluoroacetic acid in chloroform (2 mL, stabilized with ethanol). After 4 hours at 0° C., anhydrous Na2CO3 (1.0 mg, 9.4 mmole) was added, and the mixture was stirred for additional 15 minutes. The mixture was then filtered, and the filtrate was evaporated to a syrup which was purified by preparative TLC SiO2 plates developed with 3:2 (v/v) ethyl acetate hexane to provide (-)-(2S,5S)-2-(5-2-hydroxyethylsulfonyl)-4-n-propoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-tetrahydrofuran, m.p. 111°-112° C.; [α]D -61.4° (c=1, CHCl3).
