67. We carried out DAFT calculations on the epoxidation of related sub-strates in an effort to better understand the relatively lower levels of selectivity in the epoxidation reactions of 21 and 23. The calculations indicated that both the level of asynchronicity of the formation of the C-O bonds and stereoelectronics were important. A. Orendt, S. W. Roberts, J. D. Rainier, unpublished results.

95. Presently, it is not clear why this reaction failed to give C-glycoside products. We have successfully coupled other tri- and tetracyclic anhydrides with allyl nucleophiles.
96. We initially employed an ester having an acetal in place of the silyl ether. However, the Takai-Utimoto acyclic enol ether forming reaction with this substrate gave a substantial amount of eliminated material.
