24. Lower yields for the TBS series were due to minor loss of the TBS group in the carbonate-forming step.

26. The regioselectivity of the asymmetric dihydroxylation of di- and trienoates has been studied by Sharpless and our group, see: (a) Berker, H.; Soler, M. A.; Sharpless, K. B. Tetrahedron 1995, 51, 1345.

28. This constitutes a reduction in the ratio of Pd versus phosphine to our optimized conditions for the des-methyl substrates but is in accordance with Tsuji's vinyl epoxide reduction, albeit with significantly lower catalyst loadings; see ref 6.

30. It is noteworthy that the dihydroxylation of 16 appears to proceed with the opposite facial selectivity to the analogous (E,E)-diene, but this result is consistent with the Sharpless mnemonic; see: Kolb, H. C.; VanNieuwenhze, M. S.; Sharpless, K. B. Chem. Rev. 1994, 94, 2483-2547.
