7. Diyne 8 was prepared according to the protocol of Hirama for a closely related compound, differing from 8 only in the nature of the silyl protective groups: see: K.-i. Iida, M. Hirama, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1994, 116, 10310-10311.
8. An alternative two-step protocol involving dichloroolefination/reduction (Li sand) was not successful with substrate 9 (J. S. Yadav, V. Prahlad, M. C. Chander, J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1993, 137-138).

12. The conversion of a diol to a cyclic sulfate is typically conducted in a two-step procedure, by cyclic sulfite formation, then sulfite oxidation (Y. Giao, K. B. Sharpless, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1988, 110, 7538-7539). In the present case, decomposition occurred during oxidation of the diastereomeric cyclic sulfite intermediates. Sharpless and co-workers have shown that electron-deficient vicinal diols can be transformed into the corresponding cyclic sulfates directly, in one step, using sulfuryl chloride (K. P. M. Vanhessche, K. B. Sharpless, Chem. Eur. J. 1997, 3, 517-522). The conditions developed here were optimal for substrate 12 and differ significantly from those described by Sharpless and co- workers.
