8. (c) Due to the availability of 1,2:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-D-erythro-2,3-hexodiuro-2,6-pyranose "Shi catalyst" from D-fructose, we elected to prepare the enantiomers of natural products 2-4. However, an improved preparation for L-fructose is now available for the enantiomeric catalyst. See: Zhao, M.-X.; Shi, Y. J. Org. Chem. 2006, 71, 5377.

15. We observed substantial differences in optical rotations for synthetic ent-2, ent-3, and ent-4 when compared with reported values for the corresponding natural products 2, 3, and 4. However, spectroscopic data for our synthetic compounds are in good agreement with the natural products (see Supporting Information).

32. Diene 24 was also obtained from initial conversion of enol triflate 23 to the vinylboronate, followed by cross-coupling with enol triflate 22, but the yields of 24 were substantially lower (38-42%) from this route.
