Reaction Steps

Methyl (1S, 4aS, 7S, 7aR)-1, 4a, 5, 6, 7, 7a-hexahydro-1-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-7-methylcyclopenta[c]pyran-4-carboxylate (1.25 g, 0.0042 mol) obtained in Example 10 was dissolved in 20 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran, and the reaction solution was cooled by ice in the atmosphere of an argon gas. Then, 7 ml of diisobutylaluminum hydride (1.5 mol, toluene solution) was added dropwise. After the reaction mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 2 hours, 1 ml of acetone was added and furthermore, a 3% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added dropwise. The reaction mixture solution was stirred for 1 hour. Magnesium sulfate was added to the solution and 20 minutes later, insoluble matters were filtered by a celite and concentrated under a reduced pressure. The resulting colorless oily substance, i.e., (1S, 4aS, 7S, 7aR)-1, 4a, 5, 6, 7, 7a-hexahydro-4-(hydroxymethyl)-1-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-7-methylcyclopenta[c]pyran (0.95 mg, yield=83.9%) had the following physicochemical properties:
