Lithium Hydroxide → (2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)-2-[4-cyclopropyl-3-(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-6-ylmethyl)-phenyl]-6-hydroxymethyl-tetrahydro-pyran-3,4,5-triol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of acetic acid (2R,3R,4R,5S)-3,4,5-triacetoxy-6-[4-cyclopropyl-3-(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-6-ylmethyl)-phenyl]-tetrahydro-pyran-2-ylmethyl ester (10.5 g, 17.61 mmol) in methanol:THF:water 3:2:1 (120 mL) was added lithium hydroxide (813 mg, 19.37 mmol). After stirring for 2 h at room temperature, the volatiles were evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was taken up in ethyl acetate (150 mL) and washed with brine (75 mL), brine containing 10 mL of 5% aqueous KHSO4 (75 mL), and brine (20 mL) again, then dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to furnish (2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)-2-[4-cyclopropyl-3-(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-6-ylmethyl)-phenyl]-6-hydroxymethyl-tetrahydro-pyran-3,4,5-triol (7.25 g)
