43. The corresponding cis-4,5-dimethyl-substituted γ-lactol could only be obtained as an enriched mixture with 5 as a minor component. However, its reaction with 8 in the presence of boron trifluoride is highly stereoselective, giving only the 2,4-trans-2,5-trans diastereomer (in admixture with the two isomers of 25). In this case, the two methyl groups cooperate, resulting in excellent diastereoselectivity.

45. Unfortunately, the acetates derived from γ-lactols used in this study were rather unstable. Thus, we could not investigate stereoselectivity with these substrates.

62. The problem may be regarded as a Curtin-Hammett system with "feed in" mechanism, since the low activation barrier between the two conformers guarantees that their equilibrium is always established. For a discussion see: J. I. Seeman, Chem. Rev. 1983, 83, 83-134.
