was added methanesulfonyl chloride (MsCl) (0.13 mL, 1.68
mmol) at 0 °C. The mixture was stirred for 7 days at room
temperature. The mixture was then filtered through a thin pad of
silica gel topped with Celite, and the residue was washed with
diethyl ether until no product was observed in the eluent
(
checked with TLC). Concentration of the filtrate followed by
flash chromatography (n-hexane/Et O, 3:1) yielded allylic
chloride 17 (139 mg, 74%) as a colorless oil: [R]

about the feasibility of the conversion of allylic alcohol 14 into
chloride 16, which would render the synthesis more efficient.
We reckon that this is feasible. The configuration of the free
R-alcohol in 14 could be inverted by Mitsunobu reaction
followed by de-esterification and chlorination to give β-chloride

(
over our previous endeavor in terms of a shorter sequence
and with a higher overall yield. Furthermore, in the key
palladium-catalyzed allylic substitution, we have success-
fully reduced the amount of amine 19 from 4 to ca. 2 equiv,
which enables the protocol to be more efficient and con-
venient. The change of the 2,3-O-acetonide group in allylic
chloride 6 to the trans-diacetal blocking group in 16 ob-
viously renders the chloride 16 stability to avoid the undesir-
able β-hydride elimination. The use of cheap and virtually
inexhaustible starting material D-glucose as oppose to quinic
acid is also noteworthy.
