(3S,4S)-1-O-Benzoyl-3-methyl-4-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl-oct-5-ene 181. To a stirred<br />

solution of 179 (1.37 g, 2.7 mmol) in 60% aquous acetonitrile (25 mL) at room<br />

temperature was added NaIO 4 (1.16 g, 5.4 mmol). The mixture was stirred for ~2 h (cf.<br />

TLC), filtered, washed with EtOAc, and the organic layer was washed with water, brine<br />

and dried. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford crude aldehyde 180.<br />

To a cooled (-60 o C) suspension of n-C 3 H 7 PPh 3 Br (1.4 g. 3.6 mmol) in THF (50<br />

mL) was added n-BuLi (3.6 mL of 1 M in hexane). The resultant orange mixture was<br />

stirred for an additional 1 h. To it was added a solution of the aldehyde 180 (1.0 g, 2.12<br />

mmol) in THF (20 mL) over a period of 45 min. The mixture was stirred for an additional<br />

2 h at -60 o C, gradually brought to 0 o C and stirred further for 30 min. The reaction was<br />

quenched by adding aqueous saturated NH 4 Cl and extracted with EtOAc (50 mL). The<br />
