Note that the absolute configurations of the newly formed chiral centers in the aldols are predictable in almost all cases and a great many different substituents at the α and β carbons have been reported in the literature over the last few decades.
23. For example, the Mitsunobu reaction, which is well-known for configuration inversion at the hydroxyl carbon in the synthesis of lactones, does not always lead to inversion. See: (a) C. Ahn and P. DeShong, J. Org. Chem., 2002, 67, 1754-1759. Note also that the Mitsunobu reaction is only rarely applicable to the synthesis of β-lactones (β-unsubstituted/unhindered at the alcoholic OH).

26. Methylation/benzylation (not specified but presumably via O,O-dianion employing NaH/DMF/rt conditions) of serine or threonine is known. See, e.g.: (a) Y. Nihiyama, S. Shikama, K.-I. Morita and K. Kurita, J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1, 2000, 1949-1954;

However, such conditions completely failed to give any 2 when applied to 1 (presumably because the OTs, as in our substrates, is a much better leaving group than OMe or OBn, as in the literature cases, and thus more liable to various side reactions under the literature conditions).
