18. Acid hydrolysis, followed by reduction, gave the desired diol 9 in rather low yield because of β-elimination of the lactol.

21. Addition of 1 equiv of the ester enolate of 5 gave a low yield (30%). This also suggests that the (E)-enolate is less reactive in the 1,2-addition.

24. Compound i was also formed in 33% yield, probably from the regioisomeric product in the (3 + 2) cycloaddition. This regioselectivity has previously observed in the intramolecular (3 + 2) cycloaddition of N-substituted nitrones. Majumdar, S.; Bhattacharjya, A.; Patra, A. Tetrahedron Lett. 1997, 38, 8581.
