Part A Intermediate (14): To a solution of 4-methoxybenzyl chloride (2-mmol) in anhydrous ether (10 mL), was added allylmagnesium bromide (4 mL, 1M solution in THF) and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 16 h at room temperature. Sat. ammonium chloride solution 91 mL) was added and the ether layer was separated, washed with water and dried. Evaporation of ether under reduced pressure afforded olefin 14 as an oil. It was used in the next reaction without purification. Part B Intermediate (15): To an ice cold solution of 15 (2 mmol) in dichloromethane was added dropwise a solution of 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (4 mmol) in 20 mL dichloromethane over a period of 1 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at RT for 12 h. The reaction mixture was filtered to remove any solids and concentrated in vacuo. To the residue was added diethyl ether (200 ml), and it was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (3×100 ml). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo.
