23. R = 11.4 min, 14.5 min, 18.7 min, and 22.2 min, respectively. This observation surely indicates that 2 and 3 are formed without racemization throughout the sequential reactions.

26. A solution of ester 4 in toluene was added dropwise to a solution of DIBAL-H in toluene. As the relevant papers, see: (a) Takano, S.; Akiyama, M.; Sato, S.; Ogasawara, K. Chem. Lett. 1983, 1593.

28. First we prepared a corresponding dibenzyl ether of 5a, which proved to be cleaved in a later azide-formation step affording a complex mixture.

30. 4/NMO and with AD-mix-α provided a 1:1 to 1:2 mixture of diastereomers with respect to the 3-pentyloxy group.
31. Hydrogenolysis (10% Pd/C, EtOAc, r.t., 48 h) of 7a also provided 7b with poor reproducibility probably owing to poisoning by the accumulated contaminations.

34. Dialdehyde 9 was pure enough to be used for the next step. However, it was labile to purification on silica gel column chromatography for combustion analysis, affording a complex mixture involving cyclized products.
