63. A methoxymethyl group is unsuitable, as it cannot be removed in a satisfactory manner in the penultimate step of the synthesis of methyl epi-jasmonate (cf. ref 9).
64. We had initially assumed that deprotonation of esters 16, followed by kinetic reprotonation, would afford an all-syn trisubstituted cyclopentane system, but we were unable to modify the stereochemistry in this way, and the task was accomplished by the indirect method described.
65. The final oxidation step is best done with PDC (see refs 32c and 32f) or PCC (see ref 32e).
