Reaction Steps

To a solution of O-[(3aR,5R,6S,6aR)-5-(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-3a,5,6,6a-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-6-yl] methylsulfanylmethanethioate (compound 1a, 14 g, 40 mmol) in toluene was added tri-n-butyltin hydride(23.2 g, 80 mmol) and azodiisobutyronitrile (82 mg, 0.5 mmol), the formed mixture was heated at 130° C. under nitrogen for 3 hours. After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with 1:10 EtOAc in petroleum ether) to afford 8.2 g of (3aR,5S,6aR)-5-(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-3a,5,6,6a-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxole (compound 1b) as an oil.
