Procedure

To a solution of 7A (13.5 g, 55 mmol) in anhydrous THF (500 mL) was added triphenylphosphine (26 g, 99 mmol), followed by benzoic acid (10.1 g, 82.7 mmol) and DEAD (9.5 mL, 60 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 2 hours, then partitioned between water and CH2Cl2. The organic phase was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a crude product, which was chromatographed (silica gel) eluting with 15% EtOAc/hexane to give 18.1 g of the title compound as a colorless oil.
