26. 2CuLi failed to react with 16.
27. The stereochemistry about the methyl center was determined from the X-ray crystal structure of pentacyclic lactone 24. The structure revealed the methyl group to be equatorial as in the natural product. Homonuclear decoupling of the methyl group revealed a coupling constant J = 11.3 Hz between the bridgehead proton and the methine proton, further confirming the assigned stereochemistry.
28. Molecular modeling suggested that the α,β-unsaturated ketone should be oriented to preferentially allow attack from the bottom face of the alkene. The steric bulk of the TIPS protecting group may also have helped direct the approach of the nucleophile from the bottom face.
