19. 3/3AgOTf catalytic systems have also been tested in the stereospecific and regioselective intermolecular addition of 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene to (2S,3S)-3-phenylglycidyl methyl ether. The former gave the desired product 7 in 60% yield, whereas the latter was less active (ca. 40%; see SI for details). Further studies concerning related intermolecular addition are in course.
