21. The relative configuration of alcohol 7a results from an ul-addition, involving the Si-face of the enolate and the Re-face of the aldehyde, through a transition state in which the aldehyde carbonyl group is likely coordinated to the lithium cation.

24. Involvement of anionic species such as aryllithium or acyllithium intermediates formed through C1-C3 or C1-C2 bond breaking should not be ruled out. These would then recombine to afford iii.
