20. ortho-Lithiation was not observed despite the ortho-directing character of the sulfoxide group; see V. Snieckus, Chem. Rev. 1990, 90, 879-933.
21. Characterization of 5a was carried out immediately after crystallization since it readily epimerizes at C-2.
22. The structures of 8a and 10a were established by X-ray diffraction. Crystallographic data (excluding structure factors) for the structures reported in this paper have been deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre as supplementary publications nos. CCDC-139404 and -139405. Copies of the data can be obtained free of charge on application to CCDC, 12 Union Road, Cambridge CB21EZ, UK (fax: (+44) 1223-336-033; e-mail: deposit@ccdc.cam. ac.uk).

24. 1 is consistent with the result observed when reaction of 3 with acetone (entry 3) was conducted in the presence of hexamethylphosphoric triamide (6 equiv). Under these conditions, an 87;13 mixture of 7a and its epimer at the benzylic carbon atom was isolated.
