30. We have found subsequently that two equivalents of the mixed malonate conjugate base are generally sufficient for efficient tosylation with TsF: Paina, F., unpublished results.
31. Compounds 12d and 12h were formed as 70:30 mixtures of diastereoisomers; compound 12i was formed as a 61:39 mixture of diastereoisomers. Major isomers have not been assigned in these cases.
32. Yields cited for 11 are based on tosyl fluoride; yields in parentheses are for recovered 10 and are calculated from the total recoverable amount based on the yield of 11 and the amount of 10 used (4.5 equiv with respect to TsF). For example, a 70% yield of 11 means the total recoverable amount of 10 is (4.5-0.7)=3.8 equiv; 74% recovery means that (0.74×3.8=2.81 equiv) of 10 was recovered.
