Reaction Steps

According to the above general procedure, a solution containing 1.44 mg (6.26 mmol) (4S,5S)-5-(acetyloxymethyl)-4-[1,3]dioxolan-2-yldihydrofuran-2-one (3c) in Et2O:THF 1:1 (20 mL) was reduced with 522 mg (13.75 mmol) LiAlH4 in Et2O (100 mL) to give the crude protected triol (4) (1.12 mg, 93%). The crude triol (4) was cyclized in 60 mL THF water (5:1) and 5 mL 1N hydrochloric acid. Column chromatography (silica gel 20 g, ethyl methanol in CHCl3 10%) gave compound (5) (515 mg, 64%) as a colorless solid, Rf=0.35, [α]25D −25.1°, c 1.0, MeOH.
