46. 7 They describe the synthesis of aldehyde 3 in 80% ee, via alcohol 26 obtained from kinetically resolved (R)-2-methyl-1-penten-3-ol. Furthermore, a sample of 26 oxidized to aldehyde 3 with pyridinium chlorochromate and reduced back to the same alcohol showed no racemization during this process.
47. The chlorotitanium enolates were generated by the standard procedure reported by: Evans, D. A.; Rieger, D. L.; Bilodeau, M. T.; Urpí, F. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1991, 113, 1047. These substrates exhibit the stereochemical attributes of Z(O)-enolates.

54. It was mentioned that also the nature of the protecting group of the β-oxygen bearing substituent plays a significant role, giving an attenuation of 1,3-stereoinduction with a t-butyldimethylsilyl protecting group relative to a p-methoxybenzyl ether: see ref. 31b.
