13. Yus et al. have performed the cyclization of the analogue of 2 in which a n-propyl group replaces the methyl group and obtained a single diastereomer the configuration of which was not determined. However, based on an analysis using the molecular model of Bailey et al.,3 they suggested that the product was most likely cis: Yus, M.; Ortiz, R.; Huerta, F. F. Tetrahedron 2003, 59, 8525-8542.
