30. Compound 3i was prepared in four steps from commercially available 2-bromobenzaldehyde diethyl acetal by copper-catalyzed allylation of the corresponding Grignard reagent (Mg, THF; cat. CuI, methallyl mesylate), hydrolysis of the diethyl acetal (acetone, cat. TsOH), addition of tert-butoxyethynyllithium (THF, -78 °C), and protection of the benzylic alcohol as its ethoxymethyl acetal (EtOCH2Cl, DIEA, 2 h, rt).
