A thorough product study by Roush on a similar system had been reported: W. Roush, J. Org. Chem., 1979, 44, 4008. Roush’s data have proven extremely useful in the analysis of our own system.
The same tactic has been employed by Wilson in a very similar approach to the vitamins D. Wilson, S. R., Hague, M. S., J. Qrg. Chem., 1982. 47, 5413.
