27. It was important to reduce the amount of allylic chloride present in the reaction mixture as it was found to be inefficient in the subsequent alkylation reaction.
28. 5) resulted in lower yields of the allylic bromide 21 and led to bromohydrin formation. 20 β-Keto esters are known to cyclise through oxygen rather than carbon, see: T. R. Hoye, A. J. Caruso and M. J. Kurth, J. Org. Chem., 1981, 46, 3550;

30. From molecular modelling (SPARTAN) it was found that 27 was lower in energy than the conjugated tetrasubstituted double bond isomer 2.

32. The recovered isomer 28 was enriched in one diastereomer after 2 h reflux with NaH. After 4 h reflux, the recovered isomer 28 appeared to be one diastereomer only, suggesting a difference in deprotonation rates for the two diastereomeric esters.
