Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3S,4S,5R)-3,4,5-tris(trimethylsilyloxy)-6-((trimethylsilyloxy)methyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one (3.0 g, 6.5 mmol) and (5-bromo-2-chlorobenzyloxy)(tert-butyl)diphenylsilane (3.7 g, 7.8 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (105 mL) at −78° C. under nitrogen was added t-BuLi (8.0 mL, 13.7 mmol) dropwise. Reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 5 hours and then a cold (−78° C.) solution of methanesulfonic acid (1.6 mL) in methanol (54 mL) was added to it via cannulation. The cold bath was then removed and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction solution was quenched with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined organic extract was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give (3S,4S,5S)-2-(3-((tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxy)methyl)-4-chlorophenyl)-6-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methoxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol (4.0 g, crude, mixture of 2 anomers at 2-position) as a white foam, which was used in the next step without purification.
