Procedure: To a solution of (2R,3R,4S,5S,6S)-3,4,5-tris(benzyloxy)-2-((benzyloxy)methyl)-6-methoxytetrahydro-2H-pyran (28.0 g, 50.5 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in acetic acid (480 mL), was added 3M H2SO4 (120 mL, aqueous) at 0° C. The reaction was heated at 80° C. for 10 hours, cooled to room temperature, and then neutralized with saturated aqueous potassium carbonate solution. The mixture was then extracted with DCM (3×1000 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The material thus obtained was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with 30% EtOAc in petroleum ether, to give (3S,4S,5R,6R)-3,4,5-tris(benzyloxy)-6-((benzyloxy)methyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-ol as a pale yellow oil (15.0 g, 54%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.38-7.17 (m, 20H), 6.61 (d, J=4.4 Hz, 1H), 5.14-5.07 (m, 1H), 4.77 (t, J=8.5 Hz, 3H), 4.71-4.38 (m, 6H), 3.80 (dp, J=22.8, 9.1, 8.3 Hz, 3H), 3.68-3.53 (m, 2H). ESI (M+H2O) 558.2; calc for C34H36O6 540.3. cooled to room temperature The mixture was then extracted with DCM (3×1000 mL) The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate filtered concentrated in vacuo The material thus obtained was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 30% EtOAc in petroleum ether

Ice cold water (80 mL) was added, the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×250 mL), and the combined organic layers were washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution (3×60 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The material thus obtained was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with 20% EtOAc in petroleum ether to afford (2R,3R,4S,5S,6S)-3,4,5-tris(benzyloxy)-2-((benzyloxy)methyl)-6-methoxytetrahydro-2H-pyran as a pale yellow oil (28 g, 65%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.47-7.24 (m, 18H), 7.25-7.15 (m, 2H), 4.92 (d, J=10.8 Hz, 1H), 4.79 (dd, J=17.2, 2.2 Hz, 3H), 4.70 (d, J=12.1 Hz, 1H), 4.67-4.50 (m, 4H), 4.01 (t, J=9.1 Hz, 1H), 3.92 (dd, J=9.3, 3.1 Hz, 1H), 3.86-3.72 (m, 4H), 3.36 (s, 3H).
