33. Several instances of syn-selective osmylation and epoxidation reactions of 3-substituted cyclopentenes which proceed in the absence of any obvious associative interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonding) in the transition state have been reported; see: (a) Donohoe, T. J.; Blades, K.; Moore, P. R.; Waring, M. J.; Winter, J. J. G.; Helliwell, M.; Newcombe, N. J.; Stemp, G. J. Org. Chem. 2002, 67, 7946.

36. Poli has proposed a model to account for these observations, in which attack on the syn-face is favoured due to minimization of torsional strain in the transition state; see: Poli, G. Tetrahedron Lett. 1989, 30, 7385.
37. Houk has coined the term "torsional steering" for this effect; see: Cheong, P. H.-Y.; Yun, H.; Danishefsky, S. J.; Houk, K. N. Org. Lett. 2006, 8, 1513.
