Participants

Reaction Steps

I2 (0.524 g) and dichloromethane (8 mL) were charged into a round bottom flask in the dark. To this solution was added dropwise a solution of Ph3P (0.634 g) in dichloromethane (8 mL) at ambient temperature. The resulting suspension was stirred at this temperature for 30 minutes and imidazole (0.734 g) was added. After the resulting suspension was stirred for 5 minutes at room temperature, a solution of lactol 8 (0.8 g) in dichloromethane (8 mL) was added dropwise and the resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. Hexane (30 mL) was added and then the suspension was stirred for 10 minutes, filtered, and concentrated to give 1.1 g of (2R,3R)-4,4-difluoro-5-iodo-2-(trityloxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl benzoate 10.
