20. Pyrromycinone, 9, was obtained by acidic hydrolysis of marcellomycin, a generous gift from Bristol-Myers Squibb. Pyrromycinone can also be obtained through known synthetic routes or through degradation of other readily available anthracyclines; see: (a) Hauser, F. M.; Mal, D. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1984, 706, 1098.

35. This specific alkene was chosen for a number of reasons: it is commercially available and inexpensive, and has a sufficiently high boiling point to permit azeotroping with toluene along with the other starting materials prior to reaction.
36. Norbornylene was slightly less effective than 4-allyl-1,2-dimethoxybenzene, while vinylnorbornene, vinylnaphthalene, cyclopentene, and vinyltrimethylsilane were significantly less effective. No product was formed in the presence of triphenylphosphine or thioanisole.
37. For comparison, glycosylation of 15 with sulfoxide 11 in the absence of a scavenger produced 16 in 45% yield along with 18% of the corresponding trisaccharide, showing that most of the improvement in yield is a result of the scavenger. However, similar improvements in yield (ID-15%) are observed when the C ring sulfoxide is coupled. These modest improvements in yield achieved by incorporating the 2,6-dichlorophenyl sulfide become important when multiple glycosylations are conducted.

40. In addition to activating glycosyl sulfides, sulfenylating agents have been used to activate glycosyl xanthates and glycals. For activation of xanthates, see: (a) Marra, A.; Sinay, P. Carbohydr. Res. 1990, 195, 303.
