Reaction Steps

A solution of anhydrous lithium iodide (2.68 g, 20 mmol, Aldrich) in 25 mL dry pyridine was brought to reflux under a nitrogen atmosphere and treated with (±)-1-hydroxy-1-(3-carbomethoxymethoxyphenyl)-2-phenyl-2-(1,3-dithian-2-yl)-ethane (1.95 g, 5 mmol). The reaction was refluxed for 6 h, then allowed to cool to room temperature under a stream of nitrogen. The solution was poured into 1 N HCl (300 mL), and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined ethyl acetate layers were extracted with 5% sodium bicarbonate (4×50 mL). The aqueous phase was acidified to pH 2, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The organic phase was dried with Mg2SO4, filtered through activated charcoal, evaporated, and triturated with hexanes to yield a white solid. Yield: 1.71 g (91%). mp 99-101° C.
