Reaction Steps

To ((1S,3′R,4′S,5′S,6′R)-5-chloro-6-(4-ethylbenzyl)-3′,4′,5′-trihydroxy-3′,4′,5′,6′-tetrahydro-3H-spiro[isobenzofuran-1,2′-pyran]-6′-yl)methyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (14 mg, 0.0243 mmol) was added 1 mL of freshly prepared sodium methoxide solution (3 M). After stirring overnight, the reaction was quenched with 2 mL of water. The organic solvent was distilled off and the water layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine prior to drying over Na2SO4. Concentration under reduced pressure provided the crude product, which was purified by preparative TLC to give 7 mg of title compound. 1H NMR (CD3OD, 400 MHz) δ 7.36 (s, 1H), 7.23 (s, 1H), 7.10 (s, 4H), 5.13 (d, J=13.0 Hz, 1H), 5.07 (d, J=13.0 Hz, 1H), 4.09 (s, 2H), 3.91-3.86 (m, 1H), 3.76-3.67 (m, 2H), 3.62-3.55 (m, 2H), 3.43 (dd, J=10.4, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 3.31 (m, 3H), 2.60 (q, J=7.6 Hz, 2H), 1.20 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 3H); MS ESI (m/z) 435 (M+1)+, calc. 434.
