  1. aThe reaction of 2.0 equivalents of 1 with 1.0 equivalent of 3 was carried out in the presence of 5 mol % of 4, CsF (4.0 equivalents), and 18-crown-6 (6.7 equivalents) in THF ([3]0 = 25 mM) and water (THF/water = 3.0/0.1 (v/v)) at room temperature for 3 h
  2. bThe yield was based on 3
  3. cThe yield was determined from the 1H NMR spectra
