30. The methyl ether derived from 4 efficiently undergoes Zr-catalyzed cyclization but with significantly lower level of diastereoselectivity (6-8:1 by GLC analysis). It should be noted that in the absence of the quaternary carbon site within the acyclic chain, <5% conversion is observed under identical conditions.
