Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-methoxyethyl)-5-O-benzoyl-3-deoxy-D-xylofuranose (example 122) (9.59 g, 32.40 mmol) and imidazole (3.980 g, 58.47 mmol) in DMF (40 mL ) at room temperature was added t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (6.35 g, 42.12 mmol). The solution was stirred for 3 h and saturated NaHCO3 wasadded. The mixture was concentrated under vacuo. The residue was then partitioned between ether (100 mL) and water (50 mL). The aqueous phase was further extracted with ether (2×50 mL). The combined extracts were washed with brine (2×50 mL) dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give the title compound (13.3 g, 100%)
