55. The o-hydroxytolan IIIaa isolated was found to be a stable compound and no spontaneous cyclization was observed upon storage at room temperature as reported earlier in other cases. For example o-hydroxytolan used for the synthesis of XH-14, a benzofuran derivative isolated from the plant Salvia miltiorrhiza, showed a strong tendency to cyclize even upon storage at 4°C. See Lutjens, H.; Scammells, P. J. Synlett 1999, 1079-1081.
