Reaction Steps

Another batch of XV was prepared as follows: tetrabutyl ammonium fluride trihydrate (0.50 g, 1.60 mmol) was added to an ice-cooled solution of XIV (0.43 g, 0.40 mmol) in THF (3 mL) under N2 atmosphere. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (30 mL) and sequentially washed with 5% NaHCO3 (10 mL), water (10 mL) and saturated aqueous NaCl (10 mL). The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by column chromatography (SiO2, elution with 2% methanol in CHCl3) furnished XV (172 mg, 72%) as a wax. NMR spectra coordinates are as follows: 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 5.24-5.14 (m, 1H), 4.35 (dd, J=12.0, 3.2 Hz, 1H), 4.10 (dd, J=12.4, 6.4 Hz, 1H), 3.60 (t, J=5.2 Hz, 4H), 2.77-2.66 (m, 6H), 2.38-2.26 (m, 4H), 1.66-1.54 (m, 4H), 1.36-1.18 (m, 40H), 0.87 (t, J=6.0 Hz, 6H).
