sobenzofuran-1-yl}-(Z)-pent-3-en-1-ol (49).
A solution of
formyl tetrahydroisobenzofuran 48 (5.0 g, 6.1 mmol) and
degassed dioxane (1.2 L) in a Pyrex reaction vessel was irra-
diated at room temperature with a Canrad-Hanovia medium-
pressure mercury lamp (100 W) for 36 h, and then the reaction
mixture was concentrated. A solution of this residue, THF (120
mL), and MeOH (60 mL) at room temperature was treated with
1.0 M aqueous KOH (25 mL, 25 mmol) and then heated to
reflux. After 15 h, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to
room temperature and then poured into saturated aqueous
NH4Cl (500 mL), the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2
(3 ꢀ 500 mL), and the combined organic extracts were dried
(NaSO4), filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by
flash chromatography on silica gel (5:1 hexane-ethyl acetate) to
Acetic Acid 3-Acetoxy-1(S)-[(2R,2aS,3S,4S,5aR,6S,9R,9aR,

9b-octahydro-2H-1,8-dioxabenzo[cd]azulen-9-yl]propyl Ester (56).
Sulfuric acid (0.61 mL) was added dropwise to a solution of
epoxide 55 (930 mg, 2.1 mmol), THF (40 mL), and H2O (40 mL)
at room temperature. After 6 h, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (80
mL) was added, the mixture was stirred vigorously for 20 min, the
aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2 ꢀ 50 mL), and the
organic extract was dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated. The
residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (50:50
hexane-ethyl acetate) to give 770 mg (80%) of 56 as a waxy

benzoic acid (0.32 g, 1.8 mmol) was added to a stirring mixture of
52 (0.91 g, 1.5 mmol), KHCO3 (1.5 g, 15 mmol), and CH2Cl2
(31 mL) at 0 °C. After 4 h, the reaction mixture was poured into 1:1

extracts were washed with brine (200 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered,
and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatogra-
phy on silica gel (6:1 hexane-ethyl acetate) to provide 0.72 g (77%)

green mixture was transferred to a stirring mixture of sodium
serinate (91 mL of a 1.0 M aqueous solution) and ethyl acetate
