Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.48 g (0.00383 mole) of oxalyl chloride in 7 ml of methylene chloride is added dropwise a solution of 0.54 g (0.0067 mole) of dimethylsulfoxide in 4 ml of dichloromethane with stirring at -60° C. After stirring the mixture for another 10 min at -70° C., a solution of 0.95 g (0.00244 mole) of (2S,3S,4R)-4-(biphenyl)-4-ylmethoxy)-3-(3-hydroxyprop-1-yl)-2-(3-pyridyl)tetrahydrofuran in 8 ml of dichloromethane is added dropwise over a period of 10 min. The mixture is stirred at -70° C. for 1 h and 2.48 ml (0.014 mole) of diisopropylethyl amine are added at once. The mixture is allowed to warm up to room temperature, washed with water and brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The residue is purified by flash chromatography using methylene chloride-methanol-ammonium hydroxide (300:25:1) as eluent to give (2S,3S,4R)-3-[4-(biphenyl-4-ylmethoxy)-2-(3-pyridyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl]propanal as oil.
