22. The aldol addition step of the enolborane of β-alkoxy methyl ketone 8 to n-tetradecanal takes place with complete stereoselectivity, which reflects a high anti-1,5-induction. This remote induction was previously observed by other groups in related cases:

35. The way of drawing the aculeatins in Ref. 1 is confusing, as two spiro connected rings are simultaneously used as reference rings for stereochemical representation. We prefer the way depicted in Figure 1, where only the tetrahydropyran moiety is used as the reference ring.

37. The sensitivity of the β-oxygenated ketone moiety in 18 toward acidic or basic reagents was a concern here.
