Compound 39: Commercial Lindlar catalyst (15 mg) was added to a solu-
tion of cycloalkyne 38 (9.1 mg, 18.8 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (2mL) and the re-
sulting mixture was stirred vigorously under a hy-
drogen atmosphere (1 atm) overnight. For work up,
the mixture was filtered through Celite and the fil-
trate was evaporated to give analytically pure (+)-

Ester 36: Triflic anhydride (27 mL, 0.16 mmol) was added to a cooled
(ꢁ788C) solution of compound 34 (56.6 mg, 0.136 mmol) and pyridine
(22 mL, 0.27 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL). The mixture was warmed to
ꢁ458C and stirred at that temperature for 4 h. For work up, the reaction
was quenched with aq. KHSO4 (15 mL, 10% w/w) and ice, the aqueous
layer was repeatedly extracted with CH2Cl2, the combined organic phases
were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated. The resulting triflate
was dissolved in THF (7.5 mL) and added to a cooled solution (08C) of
NaH (15.6 mg, 0.390 mmol) and acid 9 (59.3 mmol, 0.429 mmol) in THF
(5 mL) [which had been stirred for 30 min at ambient temperature and
for additional 30 min at reflux temperature prior to use]. The resulting
mixture was stirred for 15 h at ambient temperature before it was poured
into sat. aq. NaHCO3. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3
10 mL), the combined organic phases were dried (Na2SO4) and evaporat-
ed, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (hexanes/

CAN (26 mg, 0.047 mmol) was added to a vigorously stirred suspension
of the cycloalkene prepared above (9.1 mg, 18.7 mmol) in MeCN/water
2:1 (0.6 mL). After 20 min the mixture became homogeneous and stirring
was continued for additional 21 h. The solution was extracted with
CH2Cl2 (32mL), the combined organic layers were dried (Na 2SO4) and
evaporated, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography
(hexane/EtOAc 1:1) to give product 39 as a colorless oil (6.1 mg, 93%).

Compound 48: Cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN, 26 mg, 0.047 mmol)
was added to a vigorously stirred suspension of cycloalkyne 53 (10 mg,
0.019 mmol)[11, 14a] in MeCN/water 2:1 (0.5 mL). After 20 min the mixture
became homogeneous and stirring was continued for additional 4 h. The
solution was extracted with CH2Cl2 (32mL), the combined organic
layers were dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent was evaporated. Purification

Cycloalkyne 38: CH2Cl2 (245 mL, 3.81 mmol) was added to a solution of
complex 40 (16 mg, 0.026 mmol)[22] in degassed toluene (2mL). After stir-

(51.5 mg, 0.096 mmol) in toluene (48 mL) and the resulting suspension
was stirred at 808C for 15 h. The mixture was then allowed to cool to am-
bient temperature, filtered through a pad of silica, and the filtrate was
evaporated. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography (hex-
anes/EtOAc 2:1) afforded cycloalkyne 38 as a colorless oil (33.1 mg,
