29. Prepared in the same way as 5. A methyl ether was introduced at C-3 because the TBS ether of aldehyde 5 was not stable under the acidic conditions of the ene cyclisation.

32. The reaction time (25 min) is critical since longer reaction times result in epimerisation at C-9.

41. Attempts to cyclopropanate with samarium amalgam (Molander, G. A.; Harring, L. S. J. Org. Chem. 1989, 54, 3525-3532) resulted here in the transformation of the cyclopentenol into a cyclopentadiene.
