17. The use of p-toluenesulfonic acid in lieu of TFA caused a considerable decrease in yield of 11 (38%) with concomitant formation of 12 (9%).
18. The formation of 11 rather than the 1-hydroxy compound A can be attributed to the greater stability of the transient diaryl carbocation B compared to the monoaryl one C. See, for example : March, J. Advanced Organic Chemistry, 4th ed.; Wiley-Interscience: New York, 1992; pp 165-174.
