27. We found the optimal concentration of HF for the deprotection was 1-2 M, at 7°C as more concentrated solutions of HF or higher temperatures decompose oasomycin A. Minor amounts of mono-TBS-protected oasomycin A (ca. 10-20%) were also recovered after workup and then recycled. The yield reported was calculated after one such recycling.
