32. For the reaction workup, the reaction mixture was reversely quenched into a mixture of TEA/water/2-MeTHF. This was done to avoid polymerization of the product observed using the forward quench method.

36. Use of anhydrous hydrogenolysis conditions did not work well for this deprotection.
37. t intermediate was observed. Nonetheless, the reaction was quenched after the completion of the cladinose hydrolysis due to formation of other impurities (i.e., cleavage of the desosamine sugar).
