Reaction Steps

To a solution of 17-ethyl-1-hydroxy-14-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)-12-[2'-(4"-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-3"-methoxycyclohexyl)-1'-methylvinyl]-23,25-dimethoxy-13,19,21,27-tetramethyl-11,28-dioxa-4-azatricyclo[22.3.1.04,9 ]octacos-18-ene-2,3,10,16-tetraone (41.7 mg in 0.6 ml 33% methylene chloride in cyclohexane), benzyl trichloroacetimidate (15.8 μl neat) was added and the reagents allowed to mix for 5 minutes. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (2 μl neat) was added slowly via syringe and the mixture stirred at room temperature. After 7 hours the reaction was quenched by the addition of saturated sodium bicarbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×5 ml). The combined organics were washed with brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. Purification of the concentrate by flash chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate: hexane (1:3)+1% methanol) gave the title compound (24 mg). (1H NMR was consistent with the desired structure).
