suspension of NaH (1.64 g, 41.1 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was
added dropwise a solution of the known allyl alcohol 12a (3.30 g, 10.3

heated under reflux for 1 h and stirred for 30 min at room

thoxybenzyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-on-5-yl]prop-2-
enoate (15a). Ozone gas was bubbled into a stirred solution of the
oxazolidin-2-one 13a (211 mg, 0.61 mmol) in EtOAc (10 mL) at −78
°C until a blue color persisted. To the solution was added dimethyl
sulfide (890 μL, 12.2 mmol) at −78 °C, and the mixture was stirred for
0.5 h at −78 °C. The mixture was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated
under reduced pressure to give the corresponding aldehyde, which was
used for the next reaction without further purification. To a stirred
suspension of LiCl (52.0 mg, 1.22 mmol) in MeCN (4.0 mL) were
added tert-butyl diethylphosphonoacetate (380 μL, 1.22 mmol) and (i-
Pr)2NEt (213 μL, 1.22 mmol) successively at 0 °C under argon. After
30 min, the above aldehyde in MeCN (2.0 mL) was added to the
mixture at 0 °C, and the stirring was continued for 3.5 h. The reaction
was quenched by addition of saturated NH4Cl. After concentration
under reduced pressure, the residue was extracted with EtOAc. The
extract was washed with saturated citric acid, brine, saturated
NaHCO3, and brine and dried over Na2SO4. Concentration under
