13. Quenching the reaction mixture with DCl resulted in no deuterium incorporation in the recovered 3. This seems to rule out the possibility that deprotonation occurs but results in a chelation-stabilized carbanion that does not undergo elimination.

17. The slightly lower ee for the (S)-acetal presumably reflects the somewhat lower optical purity of the unnatural (S,S)-tartaric acid starting material.
