Reaction Steps

[(3S,4S,5R,6S)-3,4,5-tribenzyloxy-6-[4-chloro-3-[(2,3-difluoro-4-methoxy-phenyl)methyl]phenyl]-2-(hydroxymethyl)-6-methoxy-tetrahydropyran-2-yl]methanol 2n (500 mg, 0.66 mmol) was dissolved in 10 mL dichloromethane, followed by dropwise addition of trifluoroacetic acid (0.2 mL, 2.62 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours. Thereafter, the reaction mixture was washed with 10 mL saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and the organic extract was combined, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel chromatography with elution system B to obtain the title compound [(1S,2S,3S,4R,5S)-2,3,4-tribenzyloxy-5-[4-chloro-3-[(2,3-difluoro-4-methoxy-phenyl)methyl]phenyl]-6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-1-yl]methanol 2p (360 mg, white solid), with yield: 75.3%. MS m/z (ESI): 746.2 [M+18].
