22. In our N,N-diisopropylbenzamides, competition always favours lateral lithiation over ortholithiation. See Court, J.J.; Hlasta, D. J. Tetrahedron Lett. 1996, 37, 1335.

25. Diastereoselectivity was assessed by analytical HPLC of the crude reaction mixture, and was >97:3.
26. That 9 is a meso compound tells us nothing about the conformation of the non-chirotopic stereogenic axis. Our assignment of syn,syn stereochemistry is based on precedent in the naphthamide series, along with the fact that no epimerisation to the other meso diastereoisomer was observed on heating this compound at 55°C for 24 h. Note that the stereochemistry of 9, unlike that of a superficially similar compound in , originates by 1,5-transmission of stereochemical information from one centre to the other, and not from the stereogenic axis by two-way 1,4-asymmetric induction.
