Reaction Steps

A solution of the product from Example 5A (1.9 g, 4.0 mmol) in THF (30 mL) was treated with 8-phenylmenthol chloroformate prepared from (−)-8-phenylmenthol as described in (Yamamoto, Y., J. Amer. Chem. Soc. (1992), 114, 121-125) (1.45 g, 4.92 mmol) in THF (10 mL), stirred for 3 days at ambient temperature and partitioned between aqueous sodium bicarbonate and methylene chloride. The organic layer as separated, dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to provide a mixture of diasteromeric carbamates. The diastereomeric mixture was subjected to column chromatography over silica gel (20% hexanes/ethyl acetate) to provide the title compound (0.32 g) as the less polar diastereomer and mixed fractions containing both diastereomers (0.9 g).
