Procedure for the Synthesis of 10
To a solution of 2 (800mg, 1.36mmol) in THF (20 mL), benzyl 6-oxohexanoate
(400mg, 2.04mmol) and tributylammonium fluoride trihydrate (428mg,
1.36mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred for 6 h at room temperature.
After evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure, the crude material
was diluted with methylenechloride and washed twice with water and once
with brine. The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated
under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography
(silica gel, hexane–EtOAc 8 : 2) to afford 10 (1.5g, 95%). 1H NMR

Procedure for the Synthesis of 11
To a solution of 10 (270 mg, 0.33 mmol) in methylene chloride (2 mL) were
added, under argon and at 2158C, tris(nbutyl)phosphine (165 mL,
0.66 mmol) and diethyl azodicarboxylate (105 mL, 0.66 mmol). The mixture
was stirred for 1 h at 08C, then cooled at 258C, diluted with ethanol
(7 mL), and sobium borohydride (75 mg, 1.99 mmol) was added. The
mixture was stirred for 1 h at 08C, and quenched by addition of water. The
solution was extracted twice with ethyl acetate, the organic phases were
dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated under reduced
pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica
