General ExperimentalProcedures: Method A: To a stirred solution of aldehyde 1 (0.08 g, 0.39 mmol) in MeOH (2 mL), K2CO3 (0.16g, 1.18 mmol) and TOSMIC (0.077 g, 0.39 mmol) were added and stirredat reflux for 1 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (20mL), washed with H2O (10 mL), brine (10 mL), dried (Na2SO4)and concentrated. The residue was subjected to column chromatography(silica gel, 25% EtOAc:hexane) to afford 1a (0.030g, 33%) as a syrup.

Method B: To a stirred solution of potassium t-butoxide (0.046 g, 0.41mmol) in dryTHF (1 mL) was added TOSMIC (0.053 g, 0.27 mmol) followed by 8 (0.1 g, 0.27 mmol) in dry THF (2 mL)at -78 °C and stirred for 30 min. After the completionof the reaction, sat. NH4Cl (2 mL) was added and thereaction mixture was allowed to come to r.t. and stirred for 15min. The organic compound was extracted into EtOAc (2 × 20mL), washed with H2O (10 mL), brine (10 mL), dried (Na2SO4)and concentrated.
