31. Substance 11 is rather unstable; while it can be usually stored on copper in the dark at 0 °C for a couple of weeks, some batches were found to decompose upon distillation. A more tedious but reliable procedure involves the use of Schwartz reagent (74% yield): E. Nigishi, T. Takahashi, Synthesis 1988, 1-19.

33. The use of dimethyl-1-diazo-2-oxopropylphosphonate (ref. [25a]), prepared according to reference [25b], led to a high yield of a 4:1 mixture in favour of the cis derivative. -[25a] S. Müller, B. Liepold, G. J. Roth, H. J. Bestmann, Synlett. 1996, 521-522. -
