Scheme IV.4.4<br />

In chapter III.1.2, it was discussed that benzylation of 1 took place successfully<br />

using the combination of Mg and CuCl 2 , 2H 2 O producing 91 in moderate yield (68.4%)<br />

and much improved syn selectivity [syn-91a : anti-91b = 80 : 20]. However, due to the<br />

inseperability of the diastereomers 91a and 91b, it was necessary to develop a method in<br />

which the desired syn-isomer is produced exclusively. The proportion of syn-91a in this<br />

distereoisomeric mixture has been enriched (Scheme IV.4.5) following a known<br />

oxidation-reduction protocol. 35c<br />

Accordingly, PCC oxidation of the diastereoismeric<br />

mixture (91a/b) afforded ketone 164. This was characterized by the appearance of IR<br />

carbonyl peak at 1735 cm -1 , and also from the 13 C NMR peak at δ 207.9 ppm. Compound<br />

164 was reduced with K-selectride ® to yield syn-91a exclusively. Fig IV.4.2 and Fig.<br />

IV.4.3 represents the 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra of 91a respectively. Tosylation of 91a<br />

yielded 165, which was characterized from the absence of IR peak due to hydroxyl group<br />

and also from the appearance of a singlet at δ 2.39 ppm (3H) and a multiplet at δ 4.6 ppm<br />

in the 1 H NMR spectrum. This was followed by deketalization of the tosylate 165 in acidic<br />

condition to afford crude diol, which was reacted with NaN 3 to give azidodiol 166 in good<br />

yield. 166 was characterized by recording the melting point and specific rotaion {m.p. 80-<br />

81 0 C, lit. 170b m.p. 80-82 0 C; [α] 25 D + 30.2 (c 1.8, CHCl3); lit. 170b [α] 25 D 30.6 (c 2.0,<br />

CHCl3)} and matching with those reported. Also it’s 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra were in<br />

conformity with those reported. 170b<br />
