Reaction Steps

A 250 mL round bottom flask was charged with 66.56D (mixture of diastereomers) (0.61 g, 1.7 mmol), DCM (10 mL), and TEA (0.28 mL, 2.0 mmol) and cooled to 0° C. To the cold solution was added methanesulfonyl chloride (available from Aldrich) (0.16 mL, 2.0 mmol) dropwise. The cooling bath was removed, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at ambient temperature. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc, washed with water and brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (0-40% EtOAc/hexane) to afford 66.56E (mixture of diastereomers) (0.69 g, 93% yield) as a colorless oil.
