56. 3P provided anti-2b in lower yield due to the formation of 3 (8%) and 4 (7%) in the reaction mixture.
57. 3P, CuCl alone gave a 58:35:5 mixture of anti-2b, naphthalenol 3 and naphthalene (4), respectively, in the reaction of 1a with EtMgBr.
58. The anti stereochemistry of the ring-opened products was assigned by comparison of their NMR data with those of the reported compounds anti-2a, anti-2b (see ref. 26), and anti-9a and anti-9g (see ref. 21).

85. 2Zn (1,2-dichloroethane, reflux), instead of EtMgBr, afforded exclusively the product syn-22b with only 20% conversion after 48 h (Figure 1), evidencing the key role exerted by the Grignard reagent in achieving both high reactivity and anti-stereocontrol. (Diagram presented)
