29. An equilibrium has been proposed between a compound of 3a's type and its tautomer 2-benzylisobenzofuran; see: Smith, J. G.; Wikman, R. T. J. Org. Chem. 1974, 39, 3648. However, in view of the enantioselectivity's retention during the cyclization step, such an equilibrium may be ruled out in our case.
