60. Other bases, such as DBU. NaH, or metal alkoxides, were not successful.
61. However, examples are known where the fragmentation is successful even when this stereoelectronic requirement is not fulfilled; for a review article on Grob fragmentation, see: Weyerstahl, P.; Marschall, H. In Comprehensive Organic Synthesis; Trost, B. M., Fleming, I., Eds.; Pergamon Press: Oxford, U.K., 1991: Vol. 6, p 1041.
62. Other bases, such as potassium ethoxide, potassium tert-butoxide, sodium hydride, DBU, potassium carbonate/18-crown-6. or potassium hydroxide/18-crown-6, were unsuccessful.
63. In the case of compounds 3a-c, the bicyclic system is thermodynamically favored and the fragmentation step cannot be performed as a simple retro-aldol reaction.

65. The stereochemistry of compounds 11 and 12 was established in the following way: on oxidation with PDC both 12 syn and 12 anti were converted into the same ketone (15): this compound was then subjected to hydrogenation of the alkene bond over Pd/C to give the trans-decalone derivative described in the literature: Wharton, P. S.; Hiegel, G. A. J. Org. Chem. 1965, 30, 3254. See the Supporting Information for details.
66. These results were obtained with the stereochemically defined isomers 12 syn and 12 anti, purified by column chromatography and separately characterized. The whole sequence of reactions was also performed with the diastereomeric mixture, without the separation of the isomers, with similar results.
