12. The enantiomeric excess was determined using chiral HPLC (Chiralcel AD-H, 5% isopropyl alcohol/hexane) by comparison with both enantiomers of the tetrahydropyran 9.
13. An attempted hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of TBS-protected analogue of enol ether 6 and PMB-protected analogue of aldehyde 7 gave the corresponding pyran in 77% yield but only 66% ee.

34. Inversion of the C19 configuration during the Mitsunobu esterification was confirmed by the synthesis of (-)-dactylolide 1. By contrast, for a route targeting the synthesis of (+)-zampanolide 2 containing a related esterification at C19 that occurs with retention of configuration, see ref 2.
35. This RCM reaction was inspired by the approach reported by Hoye for a structurally related substrate (ref 5a). In the final stages of this work a similar sequence of steps was applied to compound 24 by Jennings (ref 5b).
