49. Even though any one of the three silyl groups (TES, TBS and TBDPS) is suitable as a protecting group under the reaction conditions of the sequence 7→8→9→10; here we describe only those esters 8 and 9 bearing a TBS group.

52. The formation of small amounts of the deformylated ester 9 during the oxidative cleavage of 8 could not be avoided: shorter reaction times only led to incomplete oxidation of 7. However, the mixture of 8 and 9 may be used without separation in either of the subsequent reactions, thus improving the overall yields.
53. The formylated derivatives 8 are quite sensitive to alkaline media. Hydrolysis of 8 under even such mild conditions as potassium carbonate in MeOH at 0°C caused decomposition. The same result was observed when 8 (or 9) was treated with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride in THF.
54. Dihydroxy ester 10 (R′=Ph) showed NMR data identical with those reported: Wang, Z.-M.; Kolb, H. C.; Sharpless, K. B. J. Org. Chem. 1994, 59, 5104-5105.

72. Computational ab initio calculations have been performed by Dr J. Murga. The results will be disclosed in due time.
73. 19 it has been suggested that initial formation of a five-membered chelate involving the boron and the two oxygen atoms, followed by stereoselective deprotonation by the tertiary amine, explain the formation of the putative Z enolate. This and other alternative explanations are now being studied by us at both the theoretical and the experimental level.
