46. Benzylidene-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3-dioxolane, which would be formed by the elimination of 4, was not detected in the crude product.

48. The relative configuration of 9a was determined by the comparison of their melting points, 126-127 °C for the major isomer and 120-120.5 °C for the minor isomer, to that reported for (RS,SR)-9a, 118-120 °C, in: Sharpless, K. B.; Chong, A. O.; Oshima, K. J. Org. Chem. 1976, 41, 177-179.
49. A carbon radical having a π-substituent, such as an α-alkoxyalkyl radical, favors a pyramidal structure: (a) Bernard, F.; Cherry, W.; Shaik, S.; Epiotis, N. D. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1978, 100, 1352-1356.

51. The relative configuration (RS,RS) of the substituents on the dioxolane ring was confirmed by the nOe between the 5-methyl protons and the methine proton at the 4-position for 11a or the 4-methyl protons for 11b.
52. The relative configuration of 13 was tentatively assigned as shown based on this precedent: Harris, J. M.; Padwa, A. Org. Lett. 2002, 4, 2029-2031.
