12. Compounds 6 were obtained following the general procedure previously reported for 5 (ref 5) and 6a (ref 6). Yields: 6b (73%); 6c (55%); 6d (28%); 6e (45%); 6f (70%).

15. 2. The organic phase was washed with HCl (morpholine) or NaCl (alkoxydes), the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was chomatographed on silica gel with hexane/EtOAc as eluent (1:1 allowed isolation of amides and 7:3 of esters). Pyroglutamate 3 was recovered with a 3:7 mixture of solvents.

19. 2. The residue obtained after evaporation of the solvent was chomatographed on silica gel with hexane/EtOAc as eluent (9:1) for isolation of ketones. Auxilar 3 was recovered as indicated in ref 10.

29. Although lactones 10 are described as stable compounds (Romo, D.; Harrison, P. H. M.; Jenkins, S. I.; Riddoch, R. W.; Park, K.; Yang, H. W.; Zhao, C.; Eright, G. D. Bioorg. Med. Chem. 1998, 6, 1255) they seem to be prone to hydrolysis under these reaction conditions. Thus the reaction of 9c carried out in a NMR tube generates the corresponding hydroxy acid 11c in the reaction medium as we proved by following by NMR this conversion (see Supporting Information) discarding its formation in the workup.
