31. To achieve an efficient alkylation with iodide 18, incorporation of an electron-donating 4-methoxy group into the aryl acetate was required. The subsequent aldol coupling of 5 with 6 and ester reduction steps proceeded in comparable yield to that obtained previously for the corresponding Heathcock aryl ester (ref 6a).

34. To date, we have performed this key aldol coupling on a gram scale. In contrast, by using the lithium enolate from 3, the addition proceeds under Felkin-Anh induction from the aldehyde 2 and leads to exclusively the undesired (SR) configuration.
