37. The stereochemistry of epoxide 7b was assigned on the assumption of a preferential attack of the epoxidating reagent from the α side of the molecule, opposite to the isopropyl chain, as it was proved in compounds 7a and 20. See also a discussion on the stereochemistry of compound 20 in the text.

40. The reasons for the slow elimination of the TMS group in (iii) are not clear at the moment, but it may be due to a lack of coplanarity between the involved orbitals of the C-Si bond and the carbocation. This would permit successive rearrangements from (iii) to (v) that would relieve the angular strain associated with the spiranic carbon and would lead to a final carbocation (v) stabilized by the TMS and also by the neighboring alkoxide.
