(2S,4R)-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-6-oxo-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-carbaldehyde → (4R,6S)-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-6-(dihydroxymethyl)-tetrahydropyran-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of ((4-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-isopropyl-2-(N-methylmethylsulfonamido)pyrimidin-5-yl)methyl)tributylphosphonium 2,2,2-trifluoro-acetate (VI′) (504 mg, 0.77 mmol) at room temperature in dry toluene (8 mL), sodium hexamethyldisilazane in toluene (1.3 mL of 0.6 M, 0.77 mmol) is added portionwise in 10 minutes. The reaction mixture is stirred is for 60 min and treated at room temperature with a solution of (2S,4R)-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl oxy)-6-oxo-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-carbaldehyde (IV′) (200 mg, 0.77 mmol) in 25 mL of dry toluene obtained by dissolution of (4R,6S)-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-6-(dihydroxymethyl)-tetrahydropyran-2-one (V′) (214 mg, 0.77 mmol) in toluene and removal of released water. After 24 hours of stirring at room temperature the solution is treated with saturated ammonium chloride solution or water. The aqueous phase is extracted with tBuMeO (2×20 mL), and the combined organic layers dried and concentrated. The residue is purified by silica gel chromatography (elution with tBuMeO/hexane mixture) to give 273 mg (61%) of N-(5-((E)-2-((2S,4R)-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-6-oxo-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)vinyl)-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-isopropylpyrimidin-2-yl)-N-methylmethanesulfonamide as a white solid.
