42. In some cases, we examined both allylmagnesium chloride and bromide in the ring-opening reaction, and similar results were obtained.
43. The stereochemistry of 20 is opposite to that of 86 which was obtained by the reaction with allylmagnesium bromide. This stereochemical outcome can be explained by the chelating ability of the titanium reagent to the oxygen atom of the epoxide, which allows the allylation of the ketone from the side of the epoxide oxygen.
44. Stereoselective reactions of cyclic epoxides such as substituted cyclohexene oxides with a titanium reagent were already reported, see Ref. 10b. See also, (a) C. Blandy, R. Choukroun, and D. Gervais Tetrahedron Lett. 24 1983 4189 4192

69. Only a relatively small NOE enhancement was observed between 4-H and the siloxymethyl group.
70. Halohydrin is one of the representative side products irrespective of the Grignard reagent used, the stereochemistry of which is not determined. No stereo- or regioisomer of the allylated product was detected in the reaction mixture.
71. Relative stereochemistries of the quaternary carbons were determined by NOE experiment of the corresponding lactones. Typical examples are shown below.
72. We investigated the titanium-mediated ring-opening reaction of epoxides with benzyl-, crotyl-, or vinylmagnesium halide; however, a complex mixture of unidentified products was obtained in every case.
