16. 3SiCl gave a 4:1 mixture of regioisomeric silyl enol ethers. In contrast, ketone 9 (with an axial β-silyloxy group) gave a single regioisomeric silyl enol ether under the same conditions. See: Boyer F.-D., Lallemand J.-Y. Tetrahedron. 50:1994;10443-10458.

27. We are confident that the enolates from 1 and 2 form upon treatment with LHMDS at -78°C for 30 min since they have been trapped with a range of aldehydes to give the expected aldol adducts in 23-80% yields.
28. For an example where others have previously encountered difficulty in eliminating a β-silyloxy group in a related cyclohexanone, see: Hareau G., Koiwa M., Hanazawa T., Sato F. Tetrahedron Lett. 40:1999;7493-7496.

31. An alternative explanation for the requirement of 2.10 equiv of LHMDS is as follows: if β-elimination of the enolate of 2 is slow and enone 1 is readily deprotonated then as enone 1 is formed, it could be deprotonated by the enolate of 2. In this way, 2.0 equiv LHMDS would be required to complete the elimination process. We are grateful to a referee for this suggestion.
