21. We note that formation of spiro ether i by ipso spirocyclization is apparently not at all competitive with the meta pathway leading from 15 to 16. Such an ipso pathway is inherent in the Becker-Adler reaction and analogs thereof. Evidently, the proclivity for attack at the electron-rich methoxy-bearing carbon is dominant in the PIDA-mediated cyclization.
22. Of course, in reality, for a particular antipode, the methyl group defines the absolute configuration of the resultant cage-like latticework in structure 16. For convenience sake, we portray the intermediate by permuting the relative stereochemistry of the methyl bearing carbon.
