30. In contrast to our results for acetonide 14 and its corresponding diol, Smith observed excellent regiocontrol (>10:1) in the dihydroxylation of related substituted epoxytrienoates. Similarly, they observed no significant loss of stereocontrol in the mismatched (slower) case. See: Smith, A. B., III; Walsh, S. P.; Frohn, M.; Duffey, M. O. Org. Lett. 2005, 7, 139-142.

32. The lack of E/Z selectivity (1:1) in the Wittig reaction with aldehyde 21 is quite surprising when compared to the nearly identical Wittig reaction with the C-5 diastereomeric aldehyde 13, where the E isomer 6b was formed with almost 10:1 selectivity. Although we cannot offer an explanation for this result, we did find this result to be reproducible.
