The last step didn't work due to following side reaction:<br />
The fast ring closure is due to the a very reactive LG (Allylic chloride)<br />

Reacts faster due to being<br />
the less stabilized alcoholate<br />
Yields are rather moderate but the dichloride could be obtained.<br />

The allylic alcoholate<br />
is not very reactive and<br />
give is therefore quickly<br />
Mesylated before<br />
undergoing ring -<br />
closure.<br />

HMPA makes the Cl -<br />
very nucleophilic.
