7. Kitahara has described a nonstereoselective route that affords all eight stereoisomers of preussin in a two-step sequence. The isomers were separated by preparative chiral HPLC. See ref 5.

18. Two strategies allow installation of the aryl moiety within 1-3 steps of the final target. Davis generated the C-2 benzyl group as the final step via reaction of lithium diphenyl cuprate with a pyrrolidinylmethyl iodide (40% yield, single diastereomer; 10 steps total, 9% overall yield). Bach employed a Paternò-Büchi reaction of benzaldehyde with a dihydropyrrole (4:1 dr, 53% yield after separation of diastereomers) followed by a two-step deprotection sequence to generate the benzyl substituent (39% over 3 steps; 9 steps total, 11% overall yield).

20. To date, no analogues of preussin have been prepared that are modified on the aromatic ring. Bach has reported the synthesis of two analogues that differ in the nature of the C5 alkyl chain, and four analogues that differ in the nature of the C-3 substituent have been described in the patent literature.

38. Use of high-purity starting material (>97% by NMR and GC) was essential to obtain high yields in reactions of electron-rich aryl bromides. Use of starting material with trace (ca 5%) impurities led to catalyst deactivation and formation of complex mixtures of products with these substrate combinations.
