30. It was anticipated that the differential protection of fragments 14 and 15 would allow a facile deprotection of the precursor to β-hydroxy ketone 13, making 10b a more attractive target.

33. Silyl protection of 20 was not required as no significant acyl migration was observed with this more sterically demanding substrate.

40. Presumably introduction of the C(4) allylic methyl group in 28 (which is absent in 20) renders the desired RCM relatively less favorable; hence, a shift from a 9:1 to 1:1 ratio of products occurs.
41. The epoxide stereochemistry in 30 and 31 is assumed on the basis of literature precedent for epoxidation of the related lactones.
