19. 10. Treatment of 9a with TBSOTf afforded the undesired tetrahydropyran product 17 even at -78 °C, via a Lewis acid-promoted cyclisation with precedent in other work performed in this laboratory: (Equation Presented)
20. 11. For R = Me, the minor regioisomer could not be removed until cyclisation to afford tetrahydropyran ester 12.

29. 15. Unfortunately, self-condensation of the aldehyde could not be avoided during equilibration with Triton-B methoxide, leading to a modest 52% recovery of configurationally pure 4.

32. 17. The high (E)-selectivity is largely attributable to the use of the phosphonium ylid instead of the phosphonate, with the change of solvent from THF to DMF having little effect.
