28. An alternative mechanism involving intramolecular 6-endo-tet ringopening of erythro-epoxide 4a with retention of configuration at C4 was discounted because rearrangement of the resultant ¿-lactone would have afforded a diastereoisomeric (2S,3S,4R)-y-lactone; see: (a) Nacro, K.; Baltas, M.; Escudier, J.

39. Repeated attempts to epoxidize a monosubstituted syn-aldol product derived from acrolein under these conditions were unsuccessful, affording only recovered starting material.
40. 1H NMR experiment revealed strong (S) interactions consistent with the proposed (S,S,S) configuration of γ-lactone 8h, which implies that all of the epoxides 4a-i are ring-opening via the intramolecular 5-exo-tet pathway shown in. Scheme 2. equation prensented
