6b This article dealt with the preparation of O- and N-benzyl-protected 3,4-dihydroxy-5-hydroxymethyl-2-thiazolyl-pyrrolidines. The selective debenzylation of the primary hydroxy group to give compound 1 has been described (ref.
[1]
). Under the same conditions, the 5-hydroxymethyl pyrrolidines 5 (Scheme
[2]
) and 8 (Scheme
[3]
) were obtained from the corresponding perbenzylated precursors.

15 A mixture of 7c (40 mg, 0.06 mmol), activated 4 Å powdered molecular sieves (140 mg), and anhyd MeCN (0.7 mL) was stirred at r.t. for 10 min, then methyl triflate (13 µL, 0.12 mmol) was added. The suspension was stirred at r.t. for 15 min and then concentrated to dryness without filtering off the molecular sieves. To a cooled (0 °C), stirred suspension of the crude N-methylthiazolium salt in MeOH (0.7 mL) was added NaBH4 (5 mg, 0.13 mmol). The mixture was stirred at r.t. for additional 10 min, diluted with acetone, filtered through a pad of Celite, and concentrated. A solution of the residue in Et2O (30 mL) was washed with H2O, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. To a vigorously stirred solution of the thiazolidines in MeCN (1 mL) was added H2O (0.1 mL) and then AgNO3 (12 mg, 0.07 mmol). The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 5 min, then diluted with 1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7 (10 mL) and partially concentrated to remove MeCN (bath temperature not exceeding 40 °C). The suspension was extracted with Et2O (3 × 20 mL), the combined organic phases were dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated to give a yellow syrup. A solution of the residue in Et2O (ca. 30 mL) was filtered through a pad of Celite and concentrated to afford 11 (30 mg, 82%) as a colorless syrup ca. 95% pure by 1H NMR analysis. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 9.41 (d, 1 H, J = 4.7 Hz, CHO), 7.35-7.20 and 7.12-7.07 (2 m, 25 H, 5 Ph), 4.96 (s, 1 H, Ph2CH), 4.91 (ddd, 1 H, J

16 To a cooled (0 °C), stirred solution of 11 (30 mg, 0.05 mmol) in 5:2 Et2O-MeOH (1 mL) was added NaBH4 (5 mg, 0.13 mmol). The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 5 min, diluted with acetone (0.1 mL) and then 1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7 (5 mL), and partially concentrated to remove the organic solvents. The suspension was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 20 mL), the combined organic phases were dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. The residue was eluted from a column of silica gel with 3:1 cyclohexane-EtOAc to give 12 (27 mg, 90%) as a syrup; [α]D = +2.7 (c 0.6, CHCl3). 1H NMR (400 MHz, C6D6): δ = 7.32-6.92 (m, 25 H, 5 Ph), 4.94 (ddd, 1 H, J

17 A solution of 12 (31 mg, 0.05 mmol) in freshly prepared 0.1 M CH3ONa in CH3OH (2 mL) was kept at r.t. for 2 h, then neutralized with HOAc, and concentrated. A solution of the residue in CH2Cl2 was washed with 1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. The residue was eluted from a short column of silica gel with EtOAc (containing 0.5% of Et3N) to give the 2-OH derivative (17 mg). A vigorously stirred mixture of the alcohol, 20% Pd(OH)2 on carbon (20 mg), and HOAc (2 mL) was degassed under vacuum and saturated with hydrogen (by a H2-filled balloon) five times. The suspension was stirred at r.t. for 5 h under a slightly positive pressure of hydrogen (balloon), then filtered through a plug of cotton and concentrated. A solution of the crude tetrol in H2O was eluted from a column (0.5 × 3 cm, d × h) of freshly activated Dowex 1X8-200 (HO
