12. In the original paper of Higa et al., the stereochemical relationship between the methyl groups at positions 7 and 3 (compounds 2 and 3) and 4 and 11 (compounds 5-9) were described as trans (7β-methyl in 2 and 3 and 4β-methyl in 5-9). These stereochemical arrangements have been corrected though unequivocal total synthesis of compounds 3 and 5-7. The corrected structures are represented in Figure 1 for these compounds. See references 5-8.

49. The behaviour of compounds 10 and 15 towards the metallation reaction using nBuLi was very different. In the case of compound 15 the sequence o-metallation-capture with TMSCl allowed for the synthesis of 2,3-dimethoxy-4-(trimethylsilyl)-toluene (69-73% isolated yield depending on the reaction conditions). In the case of compound 10 only 17 was obtained under a variety of experimental conditions.
