Fig. 6

a Alkylation of substrate is the reason for low chemical yields. b Alkylation of substrate is not the reason for low chemical yields. Yields shown in parenthesis are determined by interim analysis of the reaction mixture with GC-MS when the starting material is totally consumed. 5 and 5’ could further cyclize to give the desired product, while 6 and 6’, 7 and 7’, 8 and 8’ are dead-end side-products.
