44. All compounds described from now on were synthesized in both racemic and enantiomerically pure form. The enantiomeric purity of each intermediate was checked by HPLC on chiral column.
45. Control experiments showed that cyclization occurred before potassium carbonate workup. Adding sodium hydride before this workup did not improve the yields.
