• -butenylmagnesium bromide to 3-methylcyclohexenone followed by quenching with either acetyl chloride [26] or methyl chloroformate provided enol ester 9a (50%) and enol carbonate 9b (83%). Oxidative cleavage [27][28][29] and reduction then provided alcohols 10a and 10b, which were converted to iodides 11a and 11b
