33. 2S, 2) 1 M NaOH, 3) 47% aq. HBr.
34. 39 and 40 were separately isolated in 56% and 27% yields, respectively. Each of them exists as a mixture of N-Boc E/Z isomers (4:1 for 39 and 5:1 for 40).
35. ≠ of the restricted bond rotation is nearly zero.
36. The absolute configuration of E is shown provisionally.
37. The Z- and E-enolate intermediates should afford α-methylated products of the same absolute configuration, since the 2:1 geometric mixture of enolates gave the product of 81% ee in 96% yield (Table VI, entry 1).
38. Enolate F is not axially chiral along the C(1)-N axis even if the bond rotation is restricted at -78 °C. The 2,3-dihydroxazole ring in G is supposed to be nearly planar.
39. The most stable conformation H of 25c was generated by MCMM search with MM3* force field using MacroModel V6.0: a) G. Chang, W. C. Guida and W. C. Still: J. Am. Chem. Soc. 111 4379-4386 (1989).
40. The steric interaction between KHMDS and Boc or MOM group at the transition state for the deprotonation is supposed to influence the enantioselectivity in the formation of chiral enolate E more significantly than the conformational preference of 25c.
