Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of compound prepared in step I (2 g, 3.64 mmol) in dichloroethane (20 mL) was added TBAB (117 mg, 0.364 mmol), 6% aqueous nitric acid (20 mmol) at 0-5° C. and stirred at room temperature for 4 h. Organic layer was separated, washed with water and brine and concentrated to furnish crude acetic acid (2R,3R,4R,5S,6S)-3,4,5-triacetoxy-6-[4-chloro-3-(4-hydroxy-3-nitro-benzyl)-phenyl]-tetrahydro-pyran-2-ylmethyl ester which was further purified by column chromatography (1.5 g)
