26. Studies by us have indicated that the direct stereoselective oxy-Michael addition to αβ-unsaturated esters (such as tertbutyl crotonate) was not a viable way to synthesise protected aldol products owing to the low natural reactivity of the two components.
27. All the sulfone-derived Michael acceptors 2 and 5 were obtained as a mixture Z/E isomers with the predominant E configuration assigned by NOE.
