g, 18.7%), diol 8 (0.68 g, 27.7%), diol 9 (0.31 g), and a mixture
of acetate 9 and epoxide 10 (0.78 g). The mixture of 9 and 10
was separated by dissolution in hot methanol and collection
of the insoluble material (10, 0.051 g, 2%). Recrystallization
of the mother liquor gave alcohol 9 (0.38 g). The total amount
of alcohol 9 recovered from the column was 0.68 g (27%).
Recrystallization of diol 8 from hot methanol gave crystals that
were used for X-ray crystal structure elucidation (see below).

All reflections corresponding to a complete quadrant (0 e h
e 13, 0 e k e 9, -19 e l e 19) were collected over the range
of 0 < 2θ < 110° using the ω/2θ scan technique. Friedel
reflections were also collected (whenever possible) immediately
after each reflection. Three intensity control reflections were
also measured for every 60 min of X-ray exposure time and
showed a maximum variation of 0.9% over the course of the
collection. A total of 6050 reflections were collected. Subse-
quent statistical analysis of the complete reflection data set
using the XPREP17 program verified that the space group as
C2. After Lorentz and polarization corrections, merging of
equivalent reflections and rejection of systematic absences,
2605 unique reflections (R(int) ) 0.0524) remained, of which
2583 were considered observed (Io > 2σ(Io)) and were used in
the subsequent structure determination and refinement. Lin-
ear and anisotropic decay corrections were applied to the
intensity data as well as an empirical absorption correction
(based on a series of psi-scans).18 Structure determination
was readily accomplished with the direct-methods program
SHELXS.19 All non-hydrogen atom coordinates were located
in a routine run using default values in that program. The
remaining H atom coordinates for the parent molecule were
calculated at optimum positions. All non-hydrogen atoms were
refined anisotropically in a full-matrix least-squares refine-
ment using SHELXL.19 The H atoms were included, their Uiso
thermal parameters fixed at either 1.2 or 1.5 (depending upon
their atomic environment) of the value of the Uiso of the atom
to which they were attached and forced to ride that atom. The
final standard residual R1 value for 6 was 0.066 for observed
data and 0.0663 for all data. The corresponding Sheldrick R
values were wR2 of 0.1551 and 0.1555, respectively. The
goodness-of-fit on F2 was 1.101. The structure of epoxide 6 is
shown in Figure S1 (Supporting Information). The absolute
stereochemistry of the epoxide15 could be assigned with
certainty on the basis of the value of the Flack absolute
structure parameter,20 i.e., -0.1(3). A final difference Fourier
map showed minimal residual electron density; the largest
difference peak and hole being +0.474 and -0.417 e/Å3. Final
bond distances and angles were all within expected and
acceptable limits.

resulting mixture saponified in 3 × 1 g batches as follows. To
a solution of epoxide 6 (1 g) in ethyl acetate (150 mL) was
added 10% palladium-on-carbon (1 g). The flask was evacu-
ated, flushed with hydrogen (5×), and hydrogenated at rt for
2.5 h using a hydrogen-filled balloon. The palladium-on-carbon
was collected and the filtrate concentrated to dryness to give
a white solid (0.94 g). The 1H NMR (CDCl3) indicated a mixture
of products. The solid was dissolved in 10% aq CH2OH (20 mL)
and DCM (10 mL). Potassium carbonate (0.6 g, 4.4 mmol) was
added, and the reaction mixture stirred overnight at rt. A
precipitate slowly developed. The reaction mixture was neu-
tralized using IR-120 H+ Amberlite resin. The resin was
collected and the filtrate concentrated to a yellow solid (0.91
g). The results of three such reactions were combined to give
a yellow solid (2.65 g) which was purified by silica gel flash
chromatography using 98:2 DCM/MeOH to give alcohol 7 (0.46
