Pyridine → HCID 53756288, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 270 mg of 5-[4,7-bis(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1-hydroxy-2-heptenyl]-2-methylthio-4-(4-phenoxybutyl)-4-trimethylsilyloxy-2-cyclopentenone obtained in Example 559 dissolved in 15 ml of acetonitrile, 2 ml of pyridine was added. While stirring the mixture under ice-cooling, 1 ml of a hydrogen fluoride-pyridine solution was added and the mixture was stirred at 0° C.--room temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was poured onto saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After filtration and concentration, the concentrate was subjected to silica gel chromatography to give 114 mg (yield 71%) of 5-(1,4,7-trihydroxy-2-heptenyl)-4-hydroxy-2-methylthio-4-(4-phenoxybutyl)-2-cyclopentenone.
