Abstract

nearly quantitative yield.” Stereospecific vicinal hydroxylation12 of this intermediate followed by protection of the diol as the cyclohexylidene ketal gives 7 in 95% overall yield. Hydrogenolysis of the benzyl groups (10% Pd/C, ethanol, 92%) and selective protection of the primary alcohol by silylation (tert-butyldiphenylsilyl chloride, imidazole, DMF) yield 8 (CY/@ anomer 85: 15)
