Synthetic procedure: See article for the definitive version of this procedure and for full experimental details.

A 20-mL Schlenk flask, containing a magnetic stirring bar, was flame-dried under vacuum and filled with nitrogen after cooling to room temperature. To this vessel were added 6acdf (25.5 mg, 0.045 mmol, 1.0 equiv), 2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (32.7 μL, 0.135 mmol, 3.0 equiv) and THF (450 μL) under a stream of nitrogen. The contents were cooled to 0 °C, and to this flask was added slowly a solution of tetrabutylammonium fluoride in THF (200 μL, 1.0 M, 0.2 mmol). The resultant mixture was warmed to room temperature, and after stirring for 1 h, water (1 mL) was added to the mixture. After extraction with CH2Cl2, the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and the volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by preparative thin-layer chromatography (hexane/CH2Cl2 = 3:2) to afford 13 (22.5 mg, 85% yield) as a white solid. 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.72–7.70 (m, 1H), 7.52–7.48 (m, 2H), 7.42–7.38 (m, 2H), 7.33 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 2H), 7.26 (dd, J = 6.6, 2.4 Hz, 2H, overlapping with the peak of CHCl3), 7.10 (dd, J = 6.6, 1.8 Hz, 2H), 6.90–6.84 (m, 3H), 6.82–6.78 (m, 2H), 6.70 (dd, J = 6.6, 2.4 Hz, 2H), 6.40 (dd, J = 6.9, 2.4 Hz, 2H), 3.60 (s, 3H), 1.30 (s, 9H); 13C NMR (150 MHz, CDCl3): δ 157.1, 149.2, 143.8, 140.2, 139.4, 139.2, 138.5, 136.6, 136.3, 132.7, 132.3, 132.2, 131.6, 131.5, 131.2, 130.8, 128.5 (q, 2JCF = 33.2 Hz), 127.3, 126.8, 126.3, 126.0, 125.9, 125.6, 124.5 (q, 3JCF = 2.9 Hz), 124.4, 124.3 (q, 1JCF = 273 Hz), 112.1, 55.0, 34.4, 31.3; HRMS (APCI) m/z calcd for C40H34F3O [MH]+: 587.25563, found 587.25334.
