Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of NaH (0.57 g, 23.86 mmol) in DMF (5 mL), a solution of (2S,5S)-5-ethynyl-2-(p-toluene sulfonyloxymethyl)-tetrahydrofuran 17 (3.34 g, 11.92 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was added, followed by the addition of 4-fluoro phenol (1.74 g, 15.5 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) and heating at 80° C. for 2hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and treated with NH4Cl solution (20 mL). It was extracted with ether (3×40 mL) and organic layer was washed with water (2×25 mL), brine (25 mL) and dried (Na2SO4). Evaporation of solvent and purification of residue by column chromatography (Si-gel, 2% EtOAc-hexane) afforded (2S,5S)-5-ethynyl-2-(4-fluorophenoxymethyl)-tetrahydrofuran 18 (1.55 g) in 59.6% yield as a colorless liquid, whose spectral data was comparable with the reported reference values.
