This route promises to provide access to substrates such as 3 with greater efficiency than observed using Beau’s methodology. Beau’s route (that used in this study, see ref. 14b) requires recycling of i in order to achieve the throughput required for preparative-scale reactions (Scheme 6).

Scheme 6
