Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of the compound (1.6 g) obtained in Example 563, methylene chloride (20 ml) and triethylamine (0.92 ml), diphenylphosphorylazide (1.37 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 h and 2 N HCl and chloroform were added. The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. To the resulting residue, water (16 ml) and 1,4-dioxane (32 ml) were added. The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 2 h and 2 N HCl and chloroform were added. After adding 2 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and chloroform to the aqueous layer, the organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was recrystallized from a mixture of ethyl acetate and n-hexane to give 1.09 g of the titled compound (yield, 75%).
