Reaction Steps

To a solution of sodium hydride (63%; 1.20 g, 31.5 mmol) in THF (20 mL), a solution of the (1R*,2R*,6S*)-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-2-ol (3.10 g, 27.2 mmol) prepared in Example 100a in THF (20 mL) was added with cooling on ice, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. To the reaction solution, benzyl bromide (4.0 mL, 33.4 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. To the reaction solution, water (50 mL) was added, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The thus obtained organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After vacuum concentration, the residue was purified with silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=4:1) to yield the title compound (2.85 g, 51%) as a light brown oil.
