30. In the presence of two equivalents of (5)-4 and no additional base, compound 5 was obtained in a slightly improved yield (86%), but with a decreased diastereomeric ratio (67:33).
31. The analogous cyclization of the tosyloxy derivative of 3 gave comparable results; nevertheless this route was less efficient - the tosyl derivative was prepared in a lower yield (73% from 2).
32. For a related cyclization of an ω-iodo enoate, see ref. 2.

34. Mesylate (E)-3 was synthesized from (E)-2, which was accessible by distillation of (E/Z)-2, see ref. 23.
35. The crude product can also be purified by distillation (bp 75-85 °C, 0.02 mbar) through a Vigreux column (10 cm). Even though the lower boiling fractions were enriched with the minor diastereomer (S.S)-5, satisfactory separation of the two diastereomers was not achieved.
36. There is just a short filtration through a pad of silica gel prior to the fractional crystallization.
37. All fractions boiling below 70 °C/0.1 mbar were discarded: fractions boiling at 71-75 °C/0. 1 mbar contained mainly (Z)-2, fractions boiling at 92-96 °C/0. 1 mbar provided pure (E)-2.
