Tertiary Alcohols 23 and 23A: A stirred solution of olefin 21
(600 mg, 0.91 mmol) in dichloromethane/acetone (4 mL/2 mL,
2:1) was treated with a cold (0 °C) solution of dimethyldioxirane
(DMDO) (1.37 mmol in 5 mL of acetone) at -10 °C. The reac-
tion was continued for 4 h at 0 °C. After completion of the reac-
tion, solvents were removed under reduced pressure (at room
temperature). The resulting crude epoxide 22 was immediately
dissolved in glacial AcOH, treated with NaBH3CN (172.8 mg,
2.75 mmol) at room temperature, and stirred for 1.5 h. It was
then quenched with ice water and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 ꢀ 15
mL), and the organic layer was washed with water and aqueous
NaHCO3 (25 mL) solution, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, fil-
tered, and concentrated under vacuum. Purification of the crude
product using Al2O3 (neutral) column chromatography (30 f
40% EtOAc/hexanes) afforded the diastereomeric (C-22) mix-
ture of alcohols (diastereomer 23, 197 mg, 32%, Rf = 0.38
(SiO2, 40% EtOAc/hexanes); diastereomer 23A, 296 mg, 48%,
Rf = 0.36 (SiO2, 40% EtOAc/hexanes)) in a 4:6 ratio as color-
less viscous liquids. These two diastereomers are used individu-
ally in subsequent transformations. Analytical data of diastere-

Diols 26 and 26A: To a stirred solution of olefin 24 (250 mg,
0.381 mmol) in THF/water (3:1, 4.0 mL) wase added 4-methyl-
morpholine-N-oxide (105 mg, 0.894 mmol), followed by a solu-
tion of OsO4 in H2O (4% in H2O, 0.56 mL, 0.0025 mmol). The
resulting mixture was stirred for 12 h at rt. After the complete
conversion, THF was removed under reduced pressure. To this
crude diol was added EtOH/H2O (5:1, 5 mL), and the mixture
was cooled to -10 °C. NaIO4 (383 mg, 1.788 mmol) was then
added, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min at 0 °C and 15 min
at rt. EtOH was then removed under reduced pressure, and
water (2.5 mL) and brine solution (2.5 mL) were added. The
mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2, dried over anhydrous
Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. To this crude ketone 25 in
anhydrous THF (4.0 mL) was added methyl magnesium bro-
mide solution (3.0 M in THF, 0.761 mL, 2.28 mmol) dropwise at
-10 °C. The mixture was then slowly allowed to warm to 0 °C,
stirred for 30 min, quenched with aqueous NH4Cl solution (2
mL) at 0 °C, extracted with EtOAc (5 mL), washed with brine
solution, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and filtered, and
solvents were removed under reduced pressure. Purification of
the crude product by silica gel column chromatography (40 f
