• The lactol from phthalide was condensed with Ph3, P=CH(CH2),3COO−Li+ (Maryanoff, B. E. and Duhl‐Emswiler, B. A., Tetrahedron Lett., 1981, 22, 4185), and the product (E/Z = 35:65) was photoisomerized (PhSSPh, sunlamp), esterified (CH3OH, BF3.Et2O), oxidized (pyridinium chlorochromate), and reacted with hexynyl‐magnesium bromide to give 1 (oil; E/Z = 90:10), characterized by 1H NMR and mass spec.
