48. The bromo formylation procedure gave an approximately 10:1 (E)/(Z) mixture of 12, which could not be separated by chromatography. However, subsequent reaction of this mixture afforded the nitrone 16 with no detectable amounts of the corresponding (E) isomer.

72. The relatively low yield of 49 (37%) is partly due to the formation of two side-products, namely the primary alcohol of 28 (ca. 20%, isolated as a mixture with 49), obtained by a Grignard reduction process, and a higher molecular compound (ca. 15%, not isolated), which probably comes from the reaction of 28 with the 1,4-bis-Grignard reagent of butane.
