diol 18
To solution of dibenzyl ether 17 (1.93 g, 4.5 mmol) in
methanol (25 mL) 0.5N HCl (5 mL) was added and the
reaction mixture was stirred overnight. The mixture
was diluted with a saturated NaHCO3 solution. After
evaporation of methanol and acetone, the aqueous
layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL) and dried
over MgSO4. Filtration and concentration to dryness in
vacuum afforded the crude product. Purification of the
crude product by chromatography on silica gel
(petroleum ether/2-propanol, 10:1 to 10:5) afforded diol

anhydrous CH2Cl2 (3 mL), BBr3 (1.0 M in CH2Cl2, 780
mL, 0.78 mmol) was added dropwise at −78°C under an
argon atmosphere. The mixture was stirred at −65 to
−45°C until reaction was complete (5 h). Purification of
the crude product by chromatography on silica gel

Methanesulfonyl chloride (0.75 mL, 9.36 mmol) was
slowly added to a solution of diol 18 (1.51 g, 3.89
mmol) and triethylamine (1.65 mL, 11.86 mmol) in
anhydrous CH2Cl2 (20 mL) at 0°C. Temperature was
allowed to rise to room temperature during 3 h, water
was added and the organic layer was separated. The
aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×40 mL).
The combined organic layers were washed with brine
and dried over MgSO4. Concentration in vacuum
afforded crude dimesylate 19 (2.12 g, 100%). [h]1D8 −14.6

To a solution of diazido diol 21 (514 mg, 1.98 mmol) in
MeOH (15 mL) 10% Pd/C (105 mg, 0.10 mmol) was
added. The mixture was hydrogenated overnight under
a hydrogen atmosphere. The catalyst was removed by
filtration through Celite® and the filtrate was evapo-
rated under vacuum affording a crude diamino diol 22
