28. Under identical conditions, cyclization of the corresponding methyl ether proceeded with d.r. = 3.5:1 and that of the TBDMS ether with d.r. = 4.5:1.
29. The structure of this material was confirmed by an X-ray crystallographic study of its desilylated analogue. The selectivity of the 1,4-addition of PhSH to 8 appears to be due to a Felkin-Anh-type stereoelectronic effect created by the strongly electro-negative sulfonamide nitrogen atom.
