19. Force field calculations suggest that the OTES group blocks the convex face. Using AD mix α, 16 could be obtained as a single diastereomer (matched case).
20. An inconsequential side product resulting from protecting group migration under the reaction conditions was also observed. As its deprotection also gave tetraol 21, the separation from 20 was not necessary.
