52. Although we did not rigorously assign the relative stereochemistry at C4 and C5, we believed that NCS should have approached from the less hindered bottom face as observed in the hydrogenation of 27 that gave i in 90% yield as a single diastereomer. The relative stereochemistry C4 and C5 is unambiguous on the basis of coupling constants obtained for H4a and H4b. (Diagram presented)
53. The deprotection was carried out earlier than expected because we could not do anything with 33 in completing the total synthesis.
