55. It must be noted that two-step yields of 4 from 2 via 6 were better than those via 3 with the exception of the special case of 4f, see: Ref. 9.
56. The mesylated phenol was obtained under the conditions.
57. The reason why we chose 2h and 2i as substrates to investigate these sequential experiments is that we observed that both intermediates 6h and 6i were somewhat unstable to isolation.
58. Attempts to obtain 8f from 6f at once were unsuccessful. For example, Swern oxidation of 6f gave a mixture of 4f, 5f (major), and 8f.
59. The cyclized product 6b is also a potential precursor of resorcinol derivative. However, the synthesis of 8b from 6b was unfortunately unsuccessful. Although we have screened various oxidation conditions, the formation of phenol derivative 5b preferentially occurred.
