37. 1H NMR spectral data of the syn adducts appeared upfield by 0.1-0.2 ppm relative to those in the spectra of the anti adducts. On the other hand, the signals of the OH protons in the syn adducts appeared downfield by 0.1-0.2 ppm relative to those in the anti adducts. The shifts were consistent for each compound in this series.
38. We found that a combination of the aldehyde (S)-6 with (1S&2R)-NME provided better selectivity than the corresponding combination of (S)-6 with (1R,2S)-NME. Carreira and co-workers also reported similar results in the asymmetric alkynylation of (S)-6 with acetyl propargyl alcohol,[8a] but the reaction mechanism was not mentioned.

54. 2 was dried before use.[8d] We found that this protocol is very effective for obtaining reproducibility of the yield. Therefore, the modified procedure was employed after this entry.
55. Carreira and co-workers reported a catalytic version of the asymmetric alkynylation.[8b] We examined the asymmetric alkynylation of the aldehyde 20 with the alkyne 25 under the catalytic conditions but the reaction did not proceed.
56. The diastereomeric ratio based on the benzylidene acetal for 26a and 26b was almost the same as the ratio of 25a and 25b used.

65. The moderate yields in some entries were caused by base-promoted deprotection of the TMS group in the coupling product and subsequent coupling of the resulting acetylide with another aldehyde.
