30. This comparison is not quite accurate; the Mori synthesis is asymmetric and requires nine steps for the conversion of tri-O- acetyl-D-glucal to their A-ring surrogate, see ref. [9]. The Rainier synthesis is racemic and requires five steps for their A-ring surrogate. However, the authors mention that the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction can be accomplished asymmetrically (ref. [18]).
