20. It may also be surmised that adventitious moisture might have promoted hydolysis of the imino ether, resulting in liberation of MeOH. However, it is not likely that the reaction medium contained enough water to permit formation of 27-29 in the observed yields. In addition, products of hydroxylation of the substrate (cf. 25/26, Z = H) would also have resulted if sufficient moisture were present in the system, as it happens indeed when similar phenols of the type are exposed to DIB in moist trifloroethanol.

35. (a) Calculated by molecular mechanics (MM+). This probably represent a lower limit for this value, since the MM+ force field tends to underestimate DE's for conformers of highly strained systems such as the ones discussed herein. (b) Approximate transition state structures were created by fixing the distance between the reacting atoms at 2.5 Å and by allowing the remainder of the molecular framework to relax in the MM+ force field.
36. Implicit in this surmise was the assumption that the reversibility of the conjugate addition of the OH group to the dienone would probably lead to a thermodynamic product.
37. Some degradation of the substrate became evident after 12 h of exposure to the Dess-Martin oxidant.
