Sulfuric acid magnesium salt (1:1) → 1,5-anhydro-2,4-dideoxy-2-(6-(4-methoxybenzyl)-4,5-dimethyl-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)-L-threo-pentitol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-formyl-5-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3,4-dimethylbenzoate (0.10 g) in THF (1.90 mL) were added (3S,4S)-3-aminotetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ol (0.04 g) and anhydrous magnesium sulfate (0.07 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hr. The insoluble substance was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was diluted with methanol (1.90 mL)-THF (1.90 mL), sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.13 g) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 days. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and the mixture was washed with water and saturated brine. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (0.04 g).
