31. N2 pathway. The D ring of the desired isomer 2, in which all of the substituents take an equatorial position, is more thermally stable than that of 9. The details of the mechanism are under investigation. We appreciate a referee who pointed out the above problems, and we also thank Professor T. Oishi (Osaka University) and Professor M. Inoue (Tohoku University) for suggesting the use of the chloroacetyl group.
