5. The four possible geometrical isomers of 8 and 9 were considered as possible asymmetric hydrogenation substrates. The enol ether isomers 9 failed to hydrogenate with the catalysts and conditions studied. Attempts to synthesise the Z isomer of 9 have so far been unsuccessful.

16. A long-range inverse-detected C-H correlation experiment showed a coupling constant of 7.0Hz between the olefinic proton and the t-butyl ester carbon and a 9Hz coupling between the olefinic proton and the methylene carbon of the MEM-side chain. This data is consistent with the (E)-stereochemistry.
