To an ice-cold stirred soln of compound 7 (0.941 g, 2.2 mmol) in
anhyd THF (3.5 mL), NaH (63 mg, 2.64 mmol) was added in por-
tions. The reaction mixture was allowed to reach r.t. and stirred for
30 min. Then, a catalytic amount of Bu4NI (40 mg, 0.11 mmol) was
added followed by addition of BnBr (0.37 mL, 3.31 mmol). After 2
h of stirring, the reaction was quenched with sat. aq NH4Cl (8 mL)
and extracted with EtOAc (3 10 mL). The combined organic ex-
tracts were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to a
yellowish slurry which was purified by chromatography (EtOAc–
hexane, 1:4, Rf 0.55) yielding 8 as a colorless oil; yield: 1.036 g

MeOH (2 mL) and hydrogenated over 10% Pd/C (30 mg) under 1

To an ice-cold stirred soln of compound 9 (1.46 g 2.64 mmol) in an-
hyd THF (7 mL), sodium hydride was added in portions (126 mg,
5.28 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to 15 °C
and stirred for additional 30 min. Then a catalytic amount of Bu4NI
(80 mg, 0.22 mmol) and BnBr (0.74 mL, 6.61 mmol) were added.
After 2 h of stirring, the reaction was quenched with sat. aq NH4Cl

was stirred at ambient temperature for 45 min (dark-green color),
then cooled to –78 °C and a soln of compound 12 (130 mg, 0.376

at that temperature for 30 min, quenched with brine (2 mL) and con-
