16. Conversion to the methyl esters during methanolysis did not erode the dr by retro-Michael-Michael equilibration because the observed ratios were in the range of 1:1 to 100:0 (if equilibration occurred dr would be expected to be quite similar). Nevertheless, partial retro-Michael-Michael equilibration cannot definitely be ruled out as the relative rate of the methanolysis/retro-Michael reactions could also be dependent on the oxazolidine-2-thione. We thank one of the referees for pointing out this mechanistic issue.
