22. The relative stereochemistry of the syn-27 and anti-27 precursors was assigned on the basis of the relative stereochemistry of the corresponding cyclized products 38 and 40 (these were assigned by analysis of the coupling constant between the secondary benzylic hydrogens and the neighboring tertiary silyl ether hydrogen).

32. Configurations were tentatively assigned on the basis of the observation of a trans-diaxial coupling constant (11 Hz) between the proton adjacent to the OTBS group and one of the benzylic methylene protons in anti-27. Both modeling and the crystal structure of 54 indicated a dihedral angle of close to 180° in this isomer.
