Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl (4-{(1S,2R)-2-{[(5,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)methyl]thio}-1-[(4-fluorophenyl)amino]-3-oxo-3-[(4S)-2-oxo-4-phenyl-1,3-oxazolidin-3-yl]propyl}phenoxy)acetate (2.6 g, 3.4 mmol) was dissolved in dry toluene (250 ml) and heated to 90° C. under inert atmosphere. N,O-Bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide (BSA, 2.5 ml, 10.3 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at 90° C. for one hour. The mixture was cooled to 45° C. and tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF, cat., 0.5 g) was added. The mixture was stirred at 45° C. for two hours. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by flash-chromatography (hexane:EtOAc 7:1). This afforded 0.65 g (31%) of the title compound as a yellow solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 200 MHz): δ 0.6 (s, 3H), 1.2 (s, 3H), 1.5 (s, 9H), 2.9-3.1 (q, broad, 2H), 3.4 (q, 4H), 4.0 (s, 1H), 4.5 (s, 2H), 4.8 (s, 1H), 6.9-7.0 (m, 4H), 7.2-7.3 (m, 5H), 4.3-4.4 (m, 4H).
