Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-benzyloxy-4-[1,1,4-trioxo-5-(2-trimethylsilanylethyl)-1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-2-yl]-benzaldehyde (1.6 g, 3.6 mmol) in benzene (20 mL), in a pressure vessel, is added triethylsilane (688 μL, 4.3 mmol) and (PPh3)2Re(O)2I (63 mg, 0.072 mmol). The vessel is sealed and the reaction is stirred at 60° C. for 18 h. The mixture is allowed to cool to ambient temperature and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The crude triethylsilyl ether is immediately dissolved in MeOH (20 mL), treated with TFA (approximately 150 μL) and stirred for 1 h. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the crude alcohol is purified via silica gel chromatography using a gradient of 0-50% EtOAc/hexanes to afford of 5-(2-benzyloxy-4-hydroxymethylphenyl)-1,1-dioxo-2-(2-trimethylsilanylethyl)-1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one as a light gray solid: MS (M+H)+=466.
