75. It was necessary to perform a filtration through silica gel to remove baseline impurities from ketone fragment 1 (3) prior to the aldol coupling.
76. The same reaction also proceeded well in diethyl ether, although the selectivity appeared to be more capricious, varying from 10:1 to as high as > 30:1.

80. It proved to be necessary to perform an aqueous workup to remove the excess TBAF from the reaction.
81. Although no attempt was made to recycle or regenerate the immobilized reagents, owing to the scale of this particular synthesis, recycling remains an option for larger-scale processes.
