Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2.2 g of the product of Step A were added to a mixture of 1.8 ml of 22° Be hydrochloric acid in 18 ml of water and the mixture was heated at 55° C. for 17 hours and was then cooled to 20° C. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic phase was washed with 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The alkaline aqueous phase was washed with methylene chloride, with ethyl acetate and was acidified to a pH of 3.5 by addition of 2N hydrochloric acid. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic phase was washed with water, dried and evaporated to dryness. The residue was taken up in ether and the mixture was vacuum filtered to obtain 0.450 g of (3S,3aS,4R,7S,7aR) 3-hydroxy-3a, 4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H,3H-4,7-methano-isobenzofuran-1-one melting at 133° C. and having specific rotation of [α]D20 =- 44° (c=1% in benzene).
