3.1.13. Compound 26. To a solution of carboxylic acid 25
(73.0 mg, 0.181 mmol), alcohol 24 (26.0 mg, 0.045 mmol)
and DMAP (22.2 mg, 0.181 mmol) in toluene (11.0 mL)
was added DCC (37.4 mg, 0.181 mmol) in toluene
(1.4 mL), at rt, under an argon atmosphere. The reaction
mixture was stirred at 75 ꢀC for 30 min. After filtration
and removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the prod-
uct was roughly purified by short column chromatography
(eluent: benzene/ethyl acetate¼7/3) to give the protected
ester (41.3 mg, 93%).

Acidic deprotection: the product from the previous step was
treated with 5% methanolic p-TsOH (7.0 mL) at rt for
30 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate,
washed successively with aq NaHCO3 and brine, dried over
anhyd MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure.
The residue was purified by column chromatography (elu-
ent: hexane/ethyl acetate¼1/1) to give ester 26 (26.9 mg,
75%) as a colorless film.
Deprotection with CAN: to a stirred solution of protected
compound (15 mg, 0.015 mmol) in acetonitrile (0.9 mL)
was added a solution of CAN (25.2 mg, 0.046 mmol) in
water (0.9 mL). The resulting yellow mixture was stirred
at 40 ꢀC for 2.5 h, diluted with CH2Cl2, organic layer was
separated and dried over anhyd MgSO4. The residue was
purified by column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl
acetate¼1/1) to give compound 26 (8.7 mg, 66%) as a color-
