27. The relative configuration was unambiguously assigned after conversion of the esters into the corresponding lactones and was later confirmed by the X-ray structure of compounds 19 and 27. Details will be reported in a forthcoming full paper.

29. Anisotropic displacement parameters are drawn at the 50% probability level and hydrogen atoms are omitted for clarity. CCDC 694490 (19) and 693829 (27) contain the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper. These data can be obtained free of charge from The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre via www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/data_request/cif. Short summaries of the crystallographic data can also be found in the Supporting Information.
