Procedure
Methyl (E) 6-(1,3-dihydro-6-(4-methoxybenzyloxymethyl)-7-methyl-3-oxo-4-p-toluenesulfonyloxyisobenzofuran-5-yl)-4-methyl-4-hexenoate (0.5 g) is dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid (10 ml) at 0° C. After 30 minutes the solvent is removed under vacuum and the residue is chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with hexane: ethyl acetate, to afford methyl (E) 6-(1,3-dihydro-6-hydroxymethyl-7-methyl-3-oxo-4-p-toluenesulfonyloxyisobenzofuran-5-yl)-4-methyl-4-hexenoate.
