(16) When alkynols 5b, 5c, and 5g (1 equiv) were reacted with 6a (1
equiv) using Rh2(esp)2 (1 mol %), In(OTf)3 (5 mol %), and 3A
molecular sieves in CH2Cl2 at room temperature, 8ba (38%, dr = 7:1),
8ca (71%, dr = 22:1), and 8ga (26%, dr = 4:1) were obtained,
respectively. Under the same conditions, the reaction of 5a with 6c did
not produce either 8ac or 8ac′, and instead a 2:1 mixture of O−H
insertion product 7ac and its ester exchange product was obtained in
93% yield.
