27. To a stirred solution of catalyst (0.1 equiv) in toluene (1 mL) was added sulfone
(1.0 equiv) and the alkynyl benziodoxolone reagent (1.5 equiv). The mixture
was stirred at rt and the reaction monitored by TLC. After completion of the
reaction, the crude was transferred directly to a silica-gel column and eluted
with a mixture of hexane and EtOAc (in 3:1 ratio) to afford the alkynylated
product 3a. Compound 3a: White solid. Yield 91%, 61% ee. The ee was
determined by HPLC analysis using a Chiralpak IB column (95/5 heptane/i-
