16g2g1_Bz (5): PUA 16g2_COOH (500 mg, 0.289 mmol), PMDC(OH)
g1-ol (72 mg, 0.347 mmol, 1.2 equiv), 4-(dimethylamino) pyridinium p-tol-
uenesulfonate (DPTS) (85 mg, 0.289 mmol) and dry CH2Cl2 (10 mL)
were mixed in a dry Schlenk tube (25 mL). After the reaction tube was
flushed with argon, N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) (89.4 mg,
0.434 mmol, 1.5 equiv) was added. The reaction was allowed to stir at RT
for 36 h under argon. Once the reaction was complete, the DCC-urethane
was filtered off in a glass filter and washed with CH2Cl2. The crude prod-
uct was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with
ethyl acetate gradually increasing to 20:80 methanol/ethyl acetate to give

eral esterification procedure in dry CH2Cl2 (2 mL) for 24 h (monitored
