Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl (3S,6R,7S,8S,10E,12Z,15S,16E)-5-oxo-3,15-bis(triethylsilyloxy)-17-(2-(2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyloxymethyl)thiazol-4-yl)-4,4,6,8,12,16-hexamethyl-7-(2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyloxy)-heptadeca-10,12,16-trienoate (2.8 g) in 12 mL of CH2Cl2 is treated with 2,6-lutidine (0.86 mL) and triethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (0.98 g) at 0° C. for 30 minutes, then at ambient temperature for 10 hours. The mixture is diluted with 50 mL of ethyl acetate and poured into 20 mL of 1 N HCl. The organic phase is separated, washed with pH 7 phosphate buffer, dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue is dissolved in 5 mL of THF and treated with 0.5 mL of 0.1 N HCl in methanol. The reaction is monitored by thin-layer chromatography, with additional aliquots of methanolic HCl being added to achieve complete reaction. When complete, the reaction is poured into 15 mL of pH 7 phosphate buffer and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract is washed with brine, dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated. The product is purified by flash chromatography on SiO2 (1:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate).
