11. These difficulties may be ascribed to the unfavorable positioning of the 4-COOR substituent: the 5-COOR isomer is smoothly deprotonated at the C-2 Me group (ref 7), arguably because of good mesomeric stabilization of the resulting anion. In a later step of the synthesis of 1 and 2 (ref 2), Moody bypassed the problem by employing an organozinc reagent prepared from the 2-
12. analogue of oxazole 8.
