- intermediate A tetrahydrofuran intermediate B with cis-fused ring systems is formed as seen in the existing literature [7]. A proton transfer of enolate moiety B yields another enolate C followed by the β-alkoxy elimination [17] of intermediate C to form intermediate D. The intermediate D on protonation leads
