Reaction Steps

In a reaction vessel HMPA (5 mL) was placed and purged with nitrogen for 1 h. To the vessel LiH (0.137 g, 17.4 mmol) and n-propylthiol (1.65 mL, 18.3 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. A solution of (1R,10R,11S,16S)-3-methoxy-1,11,15,15-tetramethyl-8-thiatetracyclo[8.8.0.02, 7.011,16]octadeca-2,4,6-triene (Compound No. 52) (0.10 g, 0.29 mmol) in HMPA (5 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and heated at 130° C. for 1 h. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, quenched with water (50 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×200 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel (Hexanes/EtOAc, 10:1) gave (1R,10R,11S,16S)-1,11,15,15-tetramethyl-8-thiatetracyclo[8.8.0.02,7.011,16]octadeca-2,4,6-trien-3-ol (Compound No. 55) (0.09 g, 94%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 6.81 (t, 1H), 6.63 (d, 1H), 6.28 (d, 1H), 4.70 (s, 1H), 3.38 (m, 1H), 2.82 (q, 2H), 1.90-1.40 (m, 9H), 1.38 (s, 3H), 1.36-0.98 (m, 2H), 0.95 (s, 3H), 0.88 (m, 3H), 0.85 (s, 3H).
