17 was prepared from S29 following a literature procedure (US2010/179194 A1 filled 28 Mar 2008, issued 15 Jul 2010). Dess-Martin Periodinane (456 mg, 1.07 mmol, 2.5 equiv.) was added to a solution of S29 (188 mg, 0.43 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) in CH2Cl2(8 mL) at 0 ºC. The mixture was allowed to warm to 22 °C and stir for 3 h. A saturated solution of NH4Cl was added and the aqueous layer was washed with EtOAc (3 x 5 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting pale yellow oil was purified by silica gel chromatography (8:1 hexanes:diethyl ether) to afford 17 (131.4 mg, 0.302 mmol, 56% overall yield for 3 steps) as colorless oil.
