Compound 6: to a dry CH2Cl2 (30 ml) solution of 12
(637 mg, 1 mmol), anisic acid (1.8 g, 12 mmol), DCC
(2.5 g, 12 mmol), and DMAP (1.5 g, 12 mmol) were
added, and the temperature was raised to 60 ꢂC for 4 h.
10 ml of EtOH was then added and, after stirring
overnight, the mixture was diluted with EtOAc (100 ml)
and filtered through Celite and silica gel. Finally, solvent

11, 12 and 6. Compound 11: to a CH2Cl2 (25 ml)
solution of 9 (71 mg, 1 mmol), cooled at ꢀ78 ꢂC, Triton
B (0.91 ml, 2 mmol) was slowly added and the temper-
ature was left to rise to 0 ꢂC. After 1.5 h, HCl 5% (40 ml)
was added and the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2
(40 ml). The organic layer was washed with NaHCO3 5%
(20 ml), H2O (20 ml), and brine (20 ml), and then dried
over Na2SO4 and the solvent was evaporated. The crude
compound 10 was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (70 ml) and
cooled to 0 ꢂC under N2 atmosphere. Pyridine (1.6 ml,
20 mmol) and triphosgene (297 mg, 1 mmol) were then
added. After 5 min, a saturated solution of NH4Cl
(90 ml) was added. The organic layer was diluted with
EtOAc (40 ml), washed with H2O (20 ml) and brine
(20 ml), dried over Na2SO4, and the solvent evaporated.
Purification by column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc

methylmorpholine-N-oxide (293 mg, 2.5 mmol), cooled at
0 ꢂC under N2, OsO4 (0.2 M in toluene, 0.5 ml,
