Reaction Steps

(1R*,4R*,5R*)-4-Iodo-6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-7-one (J. Org. Chem., vol. 61, p. 8687 (1996)) (14.3 g) was dissolved in ethanol (130 mL), and 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide (34.5 mL) was added to the solution under ice cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature for 7 hours. The solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure, and water was added to the residue. The mixture was extracted with methylene chloride, and the extract was dried over sodium sulfate anhydrate. The solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=83:17), to thereby give the title compound (6.54 g).
