30. The expected cis ring fusion of 3 was supported by 1D NOESY.
31. These substituted ketones 4 were prepared diastereomerically pure; see the Supporting Information for details.
32. The diastereomers were not separable. In the case of 5c, 1D NOESY studies indicated that the isomer with the Me group residing on the concave side of the tetracycle was the major one.
