83. 56 (70) The enantiopurity of 33 should be at least 99.8%, since it derives from combination of fragments of 88 and >99% ee. Two factors, each of which alone would have been sufficient, dictate that there would have been no loss in enantiopurity in the conversion of 52→27: (a) the sample of 52 employed in the Cope rearrangement step contained no detectable C6 epimer, and (b) any (E)-enoxysilane produced upon enolization of 52 would not undergo Cope rearrangement at room temperature.
