24. Crystallographic analysis of the minor isomer (22b) indicated that the thiol addition had occurred with the same facial selectivity as was the case for the cuprate addition (see Supporting Information).

27. The absolute configuration of the final products was assigned by correlation to literature values of specific rotation or by the preparation of Mosher esters and comparison of the resulting NMR spectra with those of authentic samples prepared from commercially available chiral alcohols (Dale, J. A.; Dull, D. L.; Mosher, H. S. J. Org. Chem. 1969, 34, 2543-2549). The corresponding D-tartrate acetals produced secondary alcohols with S configurations.

32. 2 gave a 7:1 mixture of 32a:32b, indicating that the same facial bias was maintained with the acyclic acetal system.

42. We used the largest experiment error to construct a "window" within which calculated curves were accepted.
