13. The amount of methylketene dimer produced was quantified by conversion of the dimer to the amide by reaction with pyrrolidine, as described in ref 6b, followed by isolation.

17. (S)-2-Methylpentanal was prepared from β-hydroxyamide (2S,3S)-2 of ref 6b by xanthate formation, free radical deoxygenation, and amide reduction. (2S,3S)-2 was prepared, as described in ref 6b, from the methylketene dimer.
