38. In both cases, minor amounts of the respective C-16 epimer were also formed as a consequence of the epimerization occurring at the ester α carbon during the cyclization step.

41. Molecular mechanics (MM.; CVFF91 force field) calculations provide support to this conclusion because they indicated that the exo adducts 4a and 6 are less stable that the corresponding C-7 epimers.

43. According to MM calculations, the endo adducts 11a, 24b, 28b, and 33b were more stable than the respective exo epimers.
