19. Reaction with 10% Pd-C gave an ∼5:1 mixture of 5a/5b in small scale reaction. Large-scale reaction gave partial isomerized products which were difficult to reduce.
20. The major isomer 5a had confounding conformers which precluded its full assignment.

24. 13C NMR spectra indicated the formation of tetracylic compound arising from the Michael addition of cyclohexanone enol onto cyclopentenone.
25. Spectral data of all compounds are consistent with their structures. Yields refer to isolated yields.
