60. The critical oxidation of the acetylene-dicobalthexacarbonyl complexes that gave ketones was not highly reproducible (10-40 % yield) when heated in the form of the hexacarbonyl ligand (see Ref. [12]). Among various bidentate ligands examined, we found that the dppm ligand gave the best reproducibility with model compounds (40-75% yield; see Ref. [9]).
61. 2OM-hexane (3:2) resulted in dramatic reaction progress; however, this type of salt/solvent system was not successful for coupling in ciguatoxin; see: M. Isobe, Y. Ichikawa, D.-L. Bai, H. Masaki, T.. Goto, Tetrahedron, 1987, 43, 4767-4776..
62. After the eneyne coupling, the acetylene was converted into the dicobalthexacarbonyl complex 19 a, which was subjected to cyclization under acidic condition. The initial intermediate- where the allylic cation is located at C3-might be stabilized by the neighboring pivaloyl group at C2, and became reactive as intermediate 19 b by the addition of THF solvent.
