49. Halohydrin is one of the representative side products irrespective of the Grignard reagent used, the stereochemistry of which is not determined. No regioisomer of the allylated product was detected in the reaction mixture.
50. The stereochemistry of 8 was determined by NOE analysis of the corresponding lactone, which was obtained by ozonolysis followed by oxidation.
