1) Name the starting material. How is this commercially


O prepared from isoprenol?
1) Me2SO4, i-Pr2NEt, 0 °C
HO
then O3, −78 °C, then PPh3
2) Z (25 mol%), CuCl2 (12 mol%),
2) Name of the organocatalyst Z? How would you
TEMPO, MS 4 Å, −10 °C (e.r. 83%)
prepare it?
1-6 3) propyn-1-ylmagnesium bromide, pentane
4) TBSCl, imidazole
5) B2(pin)2, t-BuONa (15 mol%), CuCl (6 mol%),
(S,S)-methyl-DUPHOS (6 mol%), MeOH/THF
6) NaBO3·6H2O, aq. THF, 90 °C
