Attempted stereocontrol at C-2' of strigol-type compounds by a Michael reaction/elimination approach

By a Michael addition/nucleophilic substitution/elimination sequence the stereocontrol at C-2' in strigol-typed compounds is in principle possible. However, the method is unsuitable for practical application since it has been shown that a stereolabile intermediate is involved.
