25. From a model study using chiral lactaldehyde TBS ether and the alkyne (S)-4, we found that a combination of the (R)-aldehyde and (S)-4 provided better yield and selectivity than that of (S)-aldehyde and (S)-4.
26. The stereochemistry of the benzylidene acetal was determined by an empirical rule (Baggett, N.; Buck, K. W.; Foster, A. B.; Randall, M. H.; Webber, J. M. J. Chem. Soc. 1965, 3394-3440).
27. The diastereomeric ratio based on the benzylidene acetal for 8a and 8b was almost same as the ratio of 7a and 7b used.

30. 1H NMR spectral data of the syn adducts 8a appeared upfield by 0.1-0.2 ppm from those in the anti adducts 8b. On the other hand, the signals of the OH proton in the syn adducts appeared downfield by 0.1-0.2 ppm from that in the anti adducts. The shifts were consistent for each compound in this series.

33. An attempt to obtain 10b via tosylation of 8a followed by simultaneous reduction of the triple bond and the benzylidene acetal failed presumably due to hydrogenolysis of the tosyl group.
