Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (1S)-1-[(3aR,5S,6aR)-2,2-dimethyl-3a,5,6,6a-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl]propan-1-ol (compound 6e, 13.5 g, 67 mmol), TEA (81 g, 804 mmol), DMAP (1.6 g, 13 mmol) in anhydrous DCM (150 mL) was added acetic anhydride (62 g, 603 mmol). After being stirred at 22° C. for 10 hours, the reaction was quenched by the saturated NaHCO3 solution. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with 1:8 EtOAc in petroleum ether) to afford 13 g of [(1S)-1-[(3aR,5S,6aR)-2,2-dimethyl-3a,5,6,6a-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl]propyl]acetate (compound 6f) as a colourless oil.
