Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (1S,2R,3R,4S,5R,6R)-4-(acetoxymethyl)-6-(4-chloro-3-(4-ethylbenzyl)phenyl)cyclohexane-1,2,3,5-tetrayl tetraacetate (98 g, >99%, 0.158 mol, 1 eq) in methanol (1 L) was added sodium hydroxide (powder, 12.6 g, 0.315 mol, 2 eq) and the mixture was refluxed overnight. The mixture was acidified to pH 6 with 1 N hydrochloric acid and the volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The residues were dissolved in ethyl acetate (3 L), washed with water (1 L), then with brine (1 L), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give a white foam. The foam was recrystallized in refluxing ethanol/water (v/v=1:3, 20 mL/g (crude)) twice to give a white solid (58 g, purity of 99.3%, yield 90%).
