29. (a) The stereochemistry of the siloxy substituent of 14 has not yet been established. (b) Due to slow conformational equilibration on the NMR time scale, NMR spectra of this intermediate are highly complex.
30. The trans vicinal siloxy groups of 13 preferentially adopt diaxial orientations, while the oxygen substituents are locked diequatorial in 17.
