12. Based on the chiral HPLC analysis against the corresponding racemic sample prepared under the same dihydroxylation condition without the chiral auxiliary, the desired enantiomer was formed exclusively.

22. A full conformational search was used Macromodel and MMFF94S forcefield, with 5000 steps of PRCG minimization for each conformation (or until completion, if that occurs sooner). There is a slight potential energy advantage to the (11aR,3aR,5R)-3 isomer as compared to the (11aR,3aR,5S)-3 isomer (310 vs 318 kJ/mol, respectively).
