The aldol 11a (661 mg, 1.5 mmol) was dissolved in an
Et2O–EtOAc 1:1 mixture (30 mL) and treated with
H5IO6 (1.2 g, ca. 5.25 mmol). The mixture was then
stirred at room temperature until consumption of the
starting material (6.5–7 h, TLC monitoring!). Solid
sodium thiosulphate pentahydrate (500 mg, ca. 2 mmol)
was added to the reaction mixture, which was then
stirred for 15 min, filtered through Celite (the Celite
pad was additionally washed with 30 mL of EtOAc)
and evaporated under reduced pressure. The oily
residue was dissolved in MeOH (20 mL) and treated
with KHCO3 (400 mg, ca. 4 mmol). After stirring the
mixture at room temperature for 2 h, satd. aq. NH4Cl
(2 mL) was added, followed by filtration through Celite
(the Celite pad was additionally washed with 30 mL of
MeOH) and evaporation under reduced pressure. The
residue was then subjected to column chromatography
on silica gel (EtOAc:AcOH, 99:1) to yield 12a (389 mg,
82%). Acid 12b was obtained in 70% yield from aldol
11b using the same procedure. Aldol 11c decomposed
under these conditions.
