(2 steps from 121b)<br />

Finally, the desired cycloisomerization precursors 122a and 122b were prepared by alkylation<br />

with 1-bromo-2-butyne in presence <strong>of</strong> NaH. Removal <strong>of</strong> the TBS protecting group in 122b was<br />

accomplished using TBAF, to obtain allenic alcohol 122c in 62% yield (2 steps from 121b).<br />

Precursors 122a-c were next tested in the Rh(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization reaction.<br />

Treatment <strong>of</strong> 122a to 5 mol% [Rh(CO)2Cl]2 led to the formation <strong>of</strong> the expected triene 123a<br />

which was isolated in 64% yield after 1 h (Scheme 3.16). Triene 123a was obtained as a mixture<br />

<strong>of</strong> E and Z isomers <strong>of</strong> the vinyl-ether in 8 : 1 ratio (determined by integration <strong>of</strong> the olefinic<br />

resonances in the 1 H NMR spectrum; the E isomer is characterized by a coupling constant <strong>of</strong> J =<br />
