28. The cis-alkenes were obtained in nine steps from cis-2-butene-1,4-diol as depicted below. (Chemical Equation Presented)

32. The β-hydroxy γ,δ-cis-alkenes cannot be derived from the reaction of cis esters with the lithio anion of aryl methyl sulfoxide followed by reduction of the resulting β-keto sulfoxides since the cis ester undergoes isomerization to the trans ester. The alternative reaction of acetylenic esters with lithio anion of aryl methyl sulfoxide followed by reduction of the resulting ynones suffers from poor stereoselectivity; see: Sanchez-Obregon, R.; Ortiz, B.; Walls, F.; Yuste, F.; Garcia Ruano, J. L. Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 1999, 10, 947-955.

34. p-Tolylthio acetaldehyde was obtained by IBX oxidation of p-tolylthio ethanol.
35. In future, with an efficient catalyst becoming available for the preparation of propargylic alcohols, by the direct reaction of aldehydes and alkynes, we can prepare optically active sulfilimines with excellent enantioselectivity readily in only three steps.
36. For other alternative approaches to the reduction of ynones, see: (a) Helal, C. J.; Magriotis, P. A.; Corey, E. J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 10938-11939

47. The enantioselectivity was determined by chiral HPLC; see the Supporting Information. The S configuration was assigned on the basis of literature precedent.
48. The hydrogenation in EtOAc as the solvent afforded the alcohol in poor yield. The substrate to catalyst ratio (25:1) was found to be optimal. With a higher substrate to catalyst ratio (100:1) side reactions were observed.
