25. The appearance of a small signal at about δ 6.79 in the cycloadditions of 19a and 19b suggested that a small amount of third stereoisomer was formed in these cycloaddition reactions. This signal did not appear in the Lewis acid promoted reactions.
26. An exhaustive list of Lewis acids was not tried, but it is notable that diethylaluminum chloride (not supported on silica gel) failed to afford cycloadducts.

43. The preparation of sulfone 35 followed the same general path used to prepare sulfone 30 (see Experimental Section), only (S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine was used as the starting material (Jing Li, unpublished results).
44. Metalation of β-(dimethylamino)tethyl phenyl sulfone (Barlow, K. N.; Marshall, D. R; Stirling, C. J. M. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 2 1977, 1920) with n-BuLi followed by reaction of the resulting carbanion with cyclohexanecarbaldehyde gave a 58:42 mixture of diastereomeric β-hydroxy sulfones in 91% yield.
