45. Molecular mechanics modeling shows that the ester group of intermediates of this type exists preferentially in a conformation in which the methine hydrogen and the carbonyl π-system are nearly orthogonal. This feature is likely responsible for the failure to generate the ester enolate of 69.
46. 3SiH, TFA) either failed to reduce 71 or led to decomposition.
47. 1H NMR spectrum of 76 corresponding to the left-hand tricyclic portion were nearly identical to that of 68. The two most diagnostic peaks were the vinyl methyl singlet at δ 2.26 and the allylic methine at δ 4.25 (dd, J = 11.7, 5.2 Hz). Both of these resonances were absent from the spectrum of 75, and were replaced with an allylic methine at δ 4.49 (q, J = 6.3 Hz) and a multiplet at δ 2.45-2.30 corresponding to the allylic methylene.
