45. This trend was efficiently exploited in the hetero-Michael cyclizations of 18 and 21 as described in ref 18.
46. Upon cleavage of the chiral auxiliary in the subsequent step, the relationship between the products becomes enantiomeric, thus preventing removal of the minor isomer until a further reagent controlled asymmetric transformation is carried out.

51. Procedure: To a stirred solution of chloroacetate 36 (31 mg, 0.032 mmol) in 1.5 mL of toluene was added a freshly prepared solution of water (1.17 μL, 0.065 mmol) and t-BuOK (9.7 μL, 1.0 M in THF) in 0.7 mL of toluene at 0 °C. The temperature was brought to room temperature over 1 h. The reaction was then quenched by addition of phosphate buffer pH 7 and subjected to the usual workup giving the cyclisized product 29 (18.3 mg, 65%).
