21. Zeolite NaY was dried and activated as described in ref 12.
22. Typical cyclization procedure: 9,10-Epoxygeranylacetone (3b, 200 mg, 0.95 mmol) was adsorbed onto dry zeolite NaY (1 g) that had been previously suspended in hexane (15 mL). The resultant slurry was heated to 70°C for 1 h and then filtered. The solid residue was washed with methanol (2 × 10 mL) for 30 min each time. The combined extracts were evaporated under reduced pressure to afford 184 mg of a mixture containing 4b, 5b, and 6b (see Table 1).

28. 3-catalyzed cyclization of 14 gives a complex reaction mixture, with a very low yield of bicyclic hydroxy acetates, without any monocyclization products such as 15 or 16 being formed: van Tamelen, E. E.; Storni, A.; Hessler E. J.; Schwartz, M. A. Bioorg. Chem. 1982, 11, 133-170.
