Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 13 (0.20 g, 0.98 mmol) in dry THF (2.0 mL) is added pyridine (0.086 g, 1.08 mmol), and then acetic anhydride (0.2 g, 1.96 mmol) is added dropwise. The reaction is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The solvent is evaporated in vacuo and the residue purified by flash column chromatography to obtain the above compound as the R isomer.
