of 3 with TBAF in the presence of MS4A and subsequent addition of
aromatic aldehyde afforded the adduct 1. Structural interest of 1
was exemplified by extensive pioneers work. Our method offers
straightforward approach to the significant scaffold of 1. Although
the reaction proceeded in moderate yield, but rapid accessibility
to the scaffold of 1 is fascinating. To get the detailed reaction
character, mechanistic studies are now under investigation.
