Reaction Steps

Crude 1-bromo-2,3,4-tri-benzoyl-L-ribose 21 (13.3 g, 25.3 mmol) was dissolved in acetone (150 mL) and water (5 ml, 277 mmol) at 0° C. Silver carbonate (6.28 g, 22.7 mmol) was added over 5 min. The reaction was brought to room temperature after 15 min and stirred an additional 30 min. The solids were removed by filtration and washed with acetone (100 mL) and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The water was removed via azeotropic distillation with ethanol and toluene and the residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (4:1 Hexanes:EtOAc to EtOAc) to give 22 as white solid (9.8 g, 21.2 mmol, 85%).
