14. Epoxidation of (-)-(S)-limonene by m-CPBA gave a 3:2 trans/cis mixture of 1,2-limonene oxide in 80% yield. The ratio was determined by GC analysis and confirmed by Cane and Coates: Cane D.E., Yang G., Coates R.M., Pyun H.-J., Hohn T.M. J. Org. Chem. 57:1992;3454-3462.

19. The relative configuration of each diastereoisomers was assigned by comparison with the spectrum of the cis- and trans-4-hydroxy-methylcyclohexene oxides reported in the literature, and also the integration of each signal: Delay D., Ohloff G. Helv. Chim. Acta. 62:1979;2168-2173.
20. The stereochemistry was supported by NOESY experiments, that showed correlation between propargylic H-2 and methyl-1 in compound 10a , but not between H-2 and H-4.
21. In a pioneer work, Inhoffen reported that the addition of lithium acetylide to 4-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)-methylcyclohexene oxide proceeds in just 33% yield. No explanation of the origin of this low yield and no structure of side products were proposed: Inhoffen H.H., Weissemerel K., Quinkert G., Bartling D. Chem. Ber. 89:1956;853-861.

24. Various examples reported in the literature showed that nucleophilic attacks of cis- and trans-4-substituted methylcyclohexene oxides initiate the selective ring opening of trans isomers, exclusively.
