27. The S absolute configurations of 5 and 6 were determined by correlation: (R)-5 was made independently from (R)-phenylglycinol, and LAH reduction of 6 afforded (S)-5 with no loss of optical purity and with completely opposite optical activity, see the Supporting Information.
28. The absolute configuration of 7 was determined by chemical correlation, see the Supporting Information.
29. The absolute configuration of 12 was determined by chemical correlation with a compound described by G. Tsuchihashi, S. Mitamura, S. Inoue, K. Ogura, Tetrahedron Lett. 1973, 14, 323, see the Supporting Information.
