By method of Sharpless 10 hydrochloric acid (0.56 cm 3 in 0.5 cm 3 water, 6.3 mmol) was<br />

added drop wise <strong>to</strong> a stirred solution of crude azide 178 (1.25 g, 5.23 mmol) and<br />

palladium on charcoal (10%, 60 mg) in EtOH (9 cm 3 ). <strong>The</strong> mixture was placed under<br />

atmospheric pressure of hydrogen, and stirred vigorously for 48 hr. Water (20 cm 3 )<br />

was added and the mixture concentrated under vacuum before filtration and acid-base<br />

extraction in<strong>to</strong> CH 2 Cl 2 (3 x 20 cm 3 ), dried over Na 2 SO 4 and solvent evaporated.<br />

Amino alcohol 174 (1.09 g, 97%) was isolated as clear colourless needles by<br />

recrystallisation from CH 2 Cl 2 .<br />

mCPBA (1.58 g, 70% purity, 6.4 mmol) was added portion wise <strong>to</strong> a solution of cisstilbene<br />

(1.011 cm 3 , 5.3 mmol) in CH 2 Cl 2 (50 cm 3 ) and stirred for 6 hr, before addition<br />

of aqueous sodium sulfite (saturated, 10 cm 3 ). <strong>The</strong> solution was washed with saturated<br />

aqueous NaHCO 3 (2 x 50 cm 3 ), CH 2 Cl 2 (2 x 50 cm 3 ), EtOAc (50 cm 3 ), dried over<br />
