Representative Experimental Procedure: A THF suspension (5 mL) of NaH (78 mg, 3.25 mmol) and 3b (556 mg, 1.43 mmol) was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere at 0 °C for 30 min. A THF solution (10 mL) of 2a (190 mg, 1.1 mmol) was added and the solution was stirred for 60 min at 0 °C. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 24 h, cooled and subsequently stirred for 12 h at 20 °C. To the mixture was added diethyl ether (30 mL), an aqueous solution of HCl (5 mL, 1 M) and a saturated solution of NaCl. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with CH₂Cl₂ (3 × 10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO₄), filtered and the solvent of the filtrate was removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, diethyl ether/petroleum ether = 1:20) to give 4b (52%) as a yellow solid. Spectroscopic data of 4b: ¹H NMR (CDCl₃, 250 MHz): δ = 1.42 (t, ³ J = 7 Hz, 3 H, CH₃), 4.45 (q, ³ J = 7 Hz, 2 H, OCH ₂CH₃), 6.91 (dd, ³ J ₁ = 7 Hz, ³ J ₂ = 8 Hz, 1 H, Ar), 7.08 (d, ³ J = 8 Hz, 1 H, Ar), 7.10 (d, ³ J = 8 Hz, 1 H, Ar), 7.53 (dd, ³ J ₁ = 7 Hz, ³ J ₂ = 8 Hz, 1 H, Ar), 7.59 (d, ³ J = 8 Hz, 1 H, Ar), 7.84 (d, ³ J = 8 Hz, 1 H, Ar), 8.30 (s, 1 H, Ar), 11.34 (s, 1 H, OH), 11.87 (s, 1 H, OH). ¹³C NMR (CDCl₃, 50 MHz): δ = 14.15 (CH₃), 62.07 (CH₂), 112.47, 119.03, 129.00 (C, Ar, ortho and para to OH), 117.74, 118.51, 118.70 (CH, Ar, ortho and para to OH), 132.36, 132.95, 136.18, 136.59 (CH, Ar, meta to OH), 163.00, 164.70, 169.61 (C, C-OH, CO₂Et), 199.12 (C, CO).

All compounds gave satisfactory spectroscopic and analytical and/or high resolution mass data.
