Diethylmethoxyborane (1.07 ml, 8.13 mmol) was added at -78°C to a THF (20 ml)/methanol (5.0 ml) solution of methyl (E)-7-phenyl-3,5-dioxo-6-heptenoate (2.00 g, 8.12 mmol), and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes to room temperature. The mixture was again cooled to -78°C, and sodium borohydride (1.54 g, 40.7 mmol) was added thereto. Then, the reaction mixture was stirred at -78°C for 4 hours and from -78°C to room temperature for 8 hours. Acetic acid (2.0 ml) was added to terminate the reaction, and the reaction mixture was poured into a saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate aqueous solution and extracted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, then dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in methanol (10 ml) and then concentrated. This operation was repeated 10 times, and the organic boron compound was decomposed and distilled off.

Methyl (3R*,5S*,6E)-7~phenyl-3,5-isopropylidenedioxy- 6-heptenoate (340 mg, 1.17 mmol) obtained in Reference Example 2 was dissolved in ethanol (50 ml), and the solution was cooled to -78°C. A gas mixture of ozone and oxygen supplied from an ozone-generator, was introduced, and the introduction was continued until the reaction solution turned blue. Then, nitrogen gas was introduced to remove excess ozone gas. Then, dimethylsulfide (1.0 ml) was added thereto. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours and concentrated.
