18. 3Si requires C, 66.2; H, 5.9%). Similarly, 1c provided 4c as an oil (21%) [bp (Kügelrohr) 155°C/0.15 mbar, mp 111.5-114°C]. Cuprate 1d provided 4d (90%) [bp (Kügelrohr) 150°C/0.1 mbar].
19. Cuprate 1b and 2 provided 5Ab directly, after elution from silica (PhMe-EtOAc, 3:7) (50%, mp 158-159°C), whilst the crude product from 2 and 1c (silica, PhMe-EtOAc, 3:7) provided 5Ac (51%, mp 152-156.6°C).
20. The absence of a cross peak for the alkene proton (δ 6.85) with that for H-2 (δ 6.60) is consistent with the (E) configuration for 5Aa. In 5Ba the (Z) stereochemistry is implicit since the alkene proton is shielded (δ 6.30) and shows a cross peak with the signal for H-2 at 6.10 ppm. The constitution of (Z)-5Ca follows from cross peaks for the -CHO group (δ 9.68) and the alkene proton (δ 6.75).
