43. The hydride attack occurred from the opposite side of the bulky thiophenyl group at C-I, which occupies an axial position (shown below). The configuration of 42 was readily assigned by inspection of the 1,2-coupling constant.
44. There are some reports on the synthesis of β-2-deoxyribonucleosides using the 1,3-anchimeric assistance, see: (a) Mukaiyama, T.; Uchiro, H.; Hirano, N.; Ichikawa, T. Chem. Lett. 1996, 629-630.

50. However, Binkley et al. suggested that the anchimeric assistance from the C-3 position was not the dominating characteristic of glycosyl donors having an acyloxy group at the C-2 position, see: Binkley, R. W.; Koholic, D. J. J. Carbohydr. Chem. 1988, 7, 487-489.

52. 2O, α-47b was preferentially obtained in 46% yield with 1:3 (β:α) selectivity.
53. Interestingly, in the case of trichloroimidate 4b′ as a glycosyl donor, α-selective glycosidation proceeded to give 46b in 80% yield with 1:20 (β:α) selectivity.
54. Synthetic sordarin was tested for fungal growth inhibition in C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. parapsilosis, and C. neoformans.
