67. The diastereoselectivity of pyran 37 could not be determined by NMR analysis due to the conformation of the ring; pyran 37 possesses a particularly flattened out structure due to the olefin and lacks any 1,3 interations in the NOE analysis. Unfortunately, we were unable to grow suitable crystals for X-ray analysis to determine the structure of pyran 37.
