13. According to the Aldrich catalog, on a per gram basis D-mannose cost 35 times more than furfural and for L-mannose the cost ratio is 4000.
14. Furfural is commercially produced by Great Lakes Chemical. For a convenient laboratory procedure, see: Adams, R.; Voorhees, V. Organic Syntheses; Wiley: New York, 1921; Collect. Vol. I, p 280.

20. This in situ use of vinylfuran allows for much higher yields of diol 7. Wittig technology provides vinylfuran in yields on the order of 10%. Previous practical approaches to vinylfuran involve a four-step sequence from furfural that involves a stoichiometric Cu-promoted decarboxylation of 3-furylpropanoic acid, see: Schmidt, U.; Werner, J. Synthesis 1986, 986.

23. The (R) diol 7 has been prepared on a half mole scale with no reduction of enantioselectivity. Similarly the (S) diol 7 has been prepared on a quarter mole scale.
