29. In the present context, the 6-O-trityl group of the previous epoxide 1 was replaced with the benzyl group because of the greater stability of the latter to a wide range of reaction conditions.

32. Less than 5% of the corresponding anti 1,2-addition products were present in some cases. Products from an α-1,4 addition process were not observed at all.
33. Under protocol B, it was hoped that the organometallic reagents might behave as a base and thereby promote epoxide formation from hydroxy mesylate 3 and then undergo an addition reaction.
34. This observation indicates that alkyllithium and PhLi do not behave, in the present case, as a base, which is necessary for the cyclization of hydroxy mesylate 3 to epoxide 4.
35. The only exception is given by the β-methyl derivative 10β [δ C(5) = 73.79 ppm]. However, the β-C-glycosidic configuration for this compound was firmly established by corresponding NOE experiment.

38. As suggested by a Rewiever, epoxide 4 is not a necessary intermediate for the generation of 16 and 17, via protocol B. A Grob fragmentation process on hydroxy mesylate 3 could lead directly to the observed products.
