Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-t-butyldiphenylsilyloxy-2-thioacetoxypropionate (example 40) (14.3 g, 34.4 mmol) in dichloromethane (1.0 L) was added diisobutylaluminium hydride (96 mL of 1.5 M solution in toluene, 144 mmol, 4.2 eq) at -78° C. The solution was strirred at -78° C. for 1 hr and at -50° C. for another 1.5 hr. Sodium sulfate decahydrate (15 g) was added and the mixture was warmed at room temperature for 2 hr. Acetone was added and the solution was stirred overnight. Anhydrous sodium sulfate was added and the solution was strirred for 30 min and filtered over a celite diatomaceous earth. The solid was washed several times with acetone and the solvents were evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography with a mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate (85:15) to give the desired compound (4.25 g) in 36% yield.
