Reaction Steps

3.12 g of (1S,5R,6R,7R)-6-[(E)-(3S,4S)-2-bromo-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-non-1-en-6-inyl]-7-benzoyloxy-2-oxa-bicyclo[3.3.0]octan-3-one was dissolved in 18 ml of p.A. methanol, mixed with 290 mg of a finely powdered potassium carbonate and stirred for 3 h at 25° C. It was adjusted to pH 7 by addition of a 50% hydrochloric acid and concentrated by evaporation in a water-jet vacuum at 30° C. The residue was taken up in methylene chloride, filtered over magnesium sulfate and Celite, again concentrated by evaporation in a water-jet vacuum and chromatographed under pressure on about 200 ml of fine silica gel using a gradient of hexane/ethyl acetate. 2.00 g (82%) of the title compound was isolated as colorless oil.
