15. When an excess amount of allyltributylstannane (5 equiv) was used in the allylation reaction, better diastereoselectivity (dr > 99:1) was observed.
16. 4-mediated substitution reaction of epoxides with ketene silyl acetals leading to γ-butyrolactones has been reported, although the presence of halogen atoms at the vicinal positions of epoxides was indispensable for the conversion except for ethylene oxide, see:. Maslak V., Matović R., and Saičić R.N. Tetrahedron 60 (2004) 8957-8966
17. Five equiv of ketene silyl acetal 3 were required for completion of the reaction, because 3 prepared by the Mikami protocol:. Mikami K., Matsumoto S., Ishida A., Takamuku S., Suenobu T., and Fukuzumi S. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 117 (1995) 11134-11141 consisted of an inseparable mixture of ketene silyl acetal and ethyl (2-trimethylsilyl)acetate as well as because of its high susceptibility to Lewis acids
