43. 4 and solvents were evaporated in vacuo to yield a residue that was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, hexane-EtOAc) to afford the title products.
44. The monosubstituted products (2, with one E = H) would be formed by abstraction of one hydrogen from the reaction medium (probably from THF at the α-position; see, for instance: Clayden, J.; Yasin, S. A. New J. Chem. 2002, 26, 191-192), before or after quenching with one molecule of the electrophile.
