The resulting mixture was stirred at 40 °C for 24 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (10% AcOEt/hexane) to give 0.24 g (90% yield) of 3 as an oil.

II. One pot synthesis of Ricciocarpin A:

Keto aldehyde 3 (0.05 g, 0.21 mmol) was dissolved in dry dioxane (5 mL) and treated with 9 (0.01 g, 0.04 mmol, 20%) and 10 (0.07 g, 0.23 mmol, 1.1 equiv.). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature until the starting material had disappeared (72h).
