43. In contrast with our previous report (see ref. [13]), we have observed that the addition of a catalytic ammount of CuCN is not neccesary for the carbometallation step. However, the influence of copper salts as catalyst is being investigated in other organometallic complex derived from 2 and will be reported in due course.

61. The relative configuration of the stereogenic centers was assigned by taking into account that it was impossible to prepare the corresponding acetonide of 38 h by reaction with 2,2-dimethoxypropane and catalytic amounts of PPTS, together with the absence of NOE between the two adjacent methyl groups in this compound.
