31. Compounds 10-12 are obtained as mixtures of stereoisomers. Since all of them converge into product 13, the synthesis depicted in Scheme 2 was carried out with these mixtures and no attempts were made to isolate the individual isomers.

33. (b) At this point it is essential to have chosen a PMB group rather than a simple Bn ether as the protecting group for the benzylic alcohol. All attempts to cleave the corresponding benzyl ether failed to afford the desired product 14. For example, attempted hydrogenation over Pd/C reduces the furan ring without cleaving the benzyl ether.

35. Note that attempted alkylations of the metalated sulfone with an allyl bromide analogous to 7 carrying -OTBDMS instead of -OSEM groups gave the desired compound in less than 5% yield.
