Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 7-[(1R,2S,3R,5S)-2-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)-5-hydroxy-3-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)cyclopentyl]heptanate (26) (109.6 g, 231.8 mmol) in dichloromethane (500 ml) was cooled on ice. Pyridine (28.1 ml, 347 mmol) and acetyl chloride (24.0 ml, 349 mmol) were added drop wise to the solution, and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. Water (600 ml) was added to the solution and the mixture was stirred, let to stand, separated into two layers, and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with dichloromethane (400 ml). The organic layers were combined and washed with 1N-hydrochloric acid (600 ml), saturated sodium bicarbonate water (800 ml) and saturated aqueous sodium chloride (800 ml). After drying with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to give methyl 7-[(1R,2S,3R,5S)-5-acetoxy-2-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)-3-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)cyclopentyl]heptanate (27) (119.2 g, 231.5 mmol, 99.9%), as slightly yellow oil.
