Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.0 g of (4R,6S)-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-6-(dihydroxymethyl)-tetrahydropyran-2-one (V′) in 100 mL of dichloromethane, 50 mg of toluenesulfonic acid and 4.5 mL of trimethyl orthoformate are added. After 2 hours of stirring at 25° C., 0.2 g of NaHCO3 is added and dichloromethane is distilled off. The residue is flash chromatographed (MTBE/hexane 1/1) and the solvents are distilled off to get the title compound.
