Reaction Steps

In a nitrogen atmosphere, 0.97 g of sodium hydride and 4.66 g of 4-chlorobenzyl bromide were added to a solution of 1.35 g of (2R,3R,4S)-4-fluoro-2-(hydroxymethyl)-5-methoxyoxolan-3-ol in 13 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide under cooling on ice, and the obtained mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Thereafter, 5 mL of methanol was added to the reaction mixture to terminate the reaction, and ethyl acetate and hexane were then added to the mixture. The thus obtained mixture was successively washed with water, a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution and a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, and was then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After that, the solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=100/0 to 60/40), so as to obtain 3.32 g of (2R,3R,4S)-3-((4-chlorobenzyl)oxy)-2-(((4-chlorobenzyl)oxy)methyl)-4-fluoro-5-methoxyoxolane in the form of a colorless oily product.
