15. 9. The intermediate trans bromohydrins were not separated pure, but directly cyclized to the corresponding epoxides

17. 4 the geometry of the enolate has no influence on the regio-or stereochemical result of the addition reaction. In the case of 10a,b, the obtainment of 14a,b and 15a,b in the cyclization reaction points to the exclusive formation of the corresponding (Z)-enolate 22a,b (Scheme 3).
18. 12. The epimerization of 12a,b into 13a,b and vice versa under acidic or basic conditions, respectively, can reasonably be rationalized by means of a retro cyclization process through the protonated γ-HK 26a,b and epoxy enol 27a,b (acidic conditions) and alcoholate 28a,b and epoxy enolate 21a,b (basic conditions). The metal chelation between the enolate and the oxirane oxygens favors the cis γ-HK 12a,b under basic conditions. (Formula Presented)
19. 13. It has to be stressed that, in the present study, four-membered cyclic γ-HKs were never formed in these reactions, independently of the type of the starting epoxy ketones and reaction conditions used.
