Procedure: Diethyl azodicarboxylate (40% toluene solution, 54.0 g) was added dropwise to a solution of 4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)benzylalcohol (27.5 g), N-hydroxyphthalimide (16.8 g) and triphenylphosphine (31.1 g) in tetrahydrofuran (450 ml) at room temperature and stirred for 18 hours. After the reaction mixture was concentrated, diisopropyl ether (200 ml) was added and the residual crystals were removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated, and the residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography to obtain N-[4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)benzyloxy]phthalimide (17.4 g, yield 43%) as crystals from an ethyl acetate-hexane-toluene (1:10:10, v/v)-eluted fraction. The crystals were recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to obtain colorless crystals. m.p. 76-77° C. After the reaction mixture was concentrated diisopropyl ether (200 ml) was added the residual crystals were removed by filtration The filtrate was concentrated

Procedure: Tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (24.1 g) was added to a mixture of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (17.8 g), imidazole (19.8 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (100 ml). After stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, water was added and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (300 ml) and methanol (40 ml), and then sodium borohydride (11.1 g) was added in portions at 0° C. After stirring for 30 minutes, water was added and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography to obtain 4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)benzylalcohol (27.7 g, yield 79%) as a colorless oil from an ethyl acetate-hexane (1:4, v/v)-eluted fraction. extracted with ethyl acetate The ethyl acetate layer was washed with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride dried (MgSO4) concentrated The residue was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (300 ml) methanol (40 ml), and then sodium borohydride (11.1 g) was added in portions at 0° C After stirring for 30 minutes water was added extracted with ethyl acetate The ethyl acetate layer was washed with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride dried (MgSO4) concentrated

Procedure: Triphenyl phosphine (1.32 g, 5.03 mmol), imidazole (370 mg, 5.47 mmol) and iodine (1.16 g, 4.61 mmol) were added to an ice-cooled solution of 4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)benzyl alcohol [(1 g, 4.19 mmol), Tet. Lett. (2004), 45, 9617] in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 10 minutes and room temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with pentane, afforded the title compound in 41% yield, 600 mg. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water The organic layer was separated dried over magnesium sulfate concentrated in vacuo Purification of the residue by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with pentane
