This example proceeded with 10:1 stereoselectivity in favour of the desired tertiary alcohol-iodide, but unfortunately, difficulties were subsequently encountered in the removal of the N-benzoyl group. A priori, we considered that use of an N-trifluoroacetamide might overcome these difficulties and give rise to an identical stereochemical outcome, and lead to 10 with good stereocontrol.
