mixture was evaporated to dryness and purified by column
chromatography using 30% ethyl acetate : hexane to neat ethyl
acetate to obtain 2 and 3 in 230◦and 36 mg quantities, respectively.

Conversion of compound 2 to compound 3. Compound 2
(230 mg) was dissolved in 80% aqueous acetic acid (5 mL) and
stirred at 80 ◦C. After 24 h, the reaction mixture was evaporated
to dryness to furnish the crude product. The crude compound was
purifiedby column chromatographyusingsilicageland eluted with
50% ethyl acetate : hexane to neat ethyl acetate to obtain 170 mg
of title product 3; overall yield: 205 mg (64%). Experimental
compounds 4–11 were prepared using an analogous procedure to
that described for the synthesis of 3. See the ESI for experimental
details for all the compounds.†

7 See the ESI for detailed experimental information†.
8 During the alkylation step, unwanted olefin II was obtained as a major
compound. The spectral data of compound 3 prepared via this route
was compared with that of 3 obtained by the Aube´ reaction and found
to be identical. Experimental details and all other unsuccessful attempts
to prepare sugar-lactam conjugate 3 are available in the ESI†.
9 HPLC analysis of the reaction mixture showed a >95 : 5 diastereose-
lectivity. Only the major isomer was isolated.
