121. 2TiCl that functions via single electron transfer proceeded sluggishly.
122. 1H NMR analysis.
123. 2 proceeded incompletely and gave unsatisfactory stereoselectivity (syn:anti 3:7), see: G. E. Keck, C. A. Wager, T. Sell, T. T. Wager, J. Org. Chem. 1999, 64, 2172.
124. Although diol anti-24a was isolated by preparative thin-layer chromatography, a mixture of diastereomers was used to supply a large amount of substrate for further transformation.
125. Enantioselectivity or diastereoselectivity was determined by HPLC analysis.

128. 1H NMR analysis, the ratio of diastereomers was determined to be >95:5.
129. McDonald et al. reported a very versatile strategy for syntheses of the 1,3-polyol array without stereochemical limitation and demonstrated stereoselective syntheses of 1,3,5,7-tetraols and 1,3,5,7,9-pentaols. Five of eight possible stereoisomers with several of their enantiomers were synthesized. See Supporting Information for ref. [20]c.

131. The absolute configuration was determined using Mosher's method. For details, see Supporting Information.
132. When acetonide was used as the protecting group, unsatisfactory results were obtained in the following stereoselective ketone reduction (up to β-OH: α-OH 3:1) even after various attempts.

140. Enantiomeric excess was determined by HPLC analysis after conversion to the corresponding ketone with benzylmagnesium chloride.
141. Due to the volatility profile of the corresponding ethyl ester of 61, butyl ester was used instead of ethyl ester. When the lithium enolate of the Weinreb amide was used, a slow reaction and moderate conversion were obtained.
142. Because of the ease of detection by HPLC analysis, benzylidene acetal was used as a protecting group of diol.
