26. 9. (a) An inseparable 2:1 mixture of compound 7 and its diastereomer at the acetal carbon was produced. (b) The aldehyde that was derived from the minor diastereomer from the previous step was also isolated in 14% yield after the subsequent ozonolysis step.
27. 10. The stereochemistry at the newly-formed carbinol carbon of 9 was definitively determined by NOE difference NMR spectroscopy. The presence of a crosspeak correlating the proton of the carbinol center with the ketal carbon in the HMBC spectrum further secured the structure of 9.
28. 11. Other products that appear to arise from abstraction of hydrogen atoms from either the ether methylene or from the ring fusion methine were also produced in minor (<10%) amounts.
