(3R)- 3,4-O-Cyclohexylidene-2-oxo-1-phenyl-butane-3,4-diol 164. Oxidation of a<br />

diastereomeric mixture of 91a and 91b (2.1 g, 8.0 mmol) with PCC (2.6 g, 12 mmol) in<br />

CH 2 Cl 2 (60 mL), followed by usual work-up, solvent removal under vacuo followed by<br />

colum chromatography of the residue (silica gel, 0-15 % EtOAc/hexane) afforded pure<br />

164. Yield: 1.56 g (74.3%); colourless oil; [α] 26 D +10.40 (c 2.0, CHCl3); IR: 1735, 910<br />

cm -1 ; 1 H NMR: δ 1.2-1.6 (m, 10H), 3.7-4.3 (m, 4H), 4.4-4.5 (m, 1H), 7.1-7.3 (m, 5H); 13 C<br />

NMR: δ 23.6, 23.9, 24.9, 34.3, 35.6, 45.3, 66.0, 79.4, 111.6, 126.8, 128.4, 129.6, 133.2,<br />

207.9. Anal. Calcd. for C 16 H 20 O 3 : C, 73.81; H, 7.74%. Found: C, 73.99; H, 7.55%.<br />

(2R,3R)-3,4-O-Cyclohexylidene-1-phenyl-butane-2,3,4-triol 91a. Following the earlier<br />

procedure, a solution of 164 (1.4 g, 5.38 mmol) in THF (30 mL) was reduced with K-<br />

selectride ® (5.5 mL, 1 M in THF) at -78 o C. Usual work up, solvent removal under vacuo<br />

followed by column chromatography (silica gel, 0-20 % EtOAc/hexane) of the residue<br />

afforded pure 91a. Yield: 1.32 g (93.6%); colourless oil; [α] 25 D +9.12 (c 1.2, CHCl3); IR:<br />

3464, 2937 cm -1 ; 1 H NMR: δ 1.2-1.6 (m, 10H), 2.40 (broad s, 1H), 2.7-2.8 (m, 2H), 3.64-<br />

3.78 (m, 2H), 3.87-4.0 (m, 2H), 7.2-7.3 (m, 5H); 13 C NMR: δ 23.6, 23.9, 25.0, 34.6, 36.1,<br />

40.1, 65.5, 72.9, 77.4, 109.7, 126.3, 128.3, 129.2, 137.6 Anal. Calcd. for C 16 H 22 O 3 : C,<br />

73.25; H, 8.45%. Found: C, 73.38; H, 8.62%.<br />

(2R,3R)-3,4-O-Cyclohexylidene-2-O-p-toluenesulphonyl-1-phenyl-butane-2,3,4-triol<br />

165. To a cooled (0 o C) and stirred solution of compound 91a (0.786 g, 3.0 mmol) in<br />

pyridine (10 mL) was dropwise added a solution of p-TsCl (0.575 g, 3.0 mmol) in pyridine<br />

(15 mL) and the solution was stirred for 3 h (cf. TLC). Water and EtOAc was added to the<br />

mixture, the organic layer separated and the aqueous layer extracted with EtOAc (40 mL).<br />
