34. The stereochemistry of the β-oxygen elimination seems to depend strongly on the solvents used. When the reaction of 1a with one equivalent of 2a was performed in 1,4-dioxane, 3a, (Z)-3-(4-methylphenyl)acrylate (4′a), and 1a were obtained in 26%, 14%, and 55% yields, respectively (cf. Table 1, entry 2).
