20. The oxabicyclic substrates were prepared by an enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction of furan and bromoacrolein with the tryptophan-derived oxazaborolidine catalyst described by Corey and Loh (see references [3] and [4]). The L-tryptophan-derived catalyst was used for the reactions in entries 3 and 4 of Table 2 and entries 5 and 6 of Table 3; the D-tryptophan-derived catalyst was used for the reactions in entries 1 and 2 of Table 2 and entries 1-4 of Table 3.
21. To the best of our knowledge, there is only one example in the literature of the opening of an oxabicycloheptene by displacement of a bridging C - O bond, namely, the ring opening of 2-methylthio-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptene by silyl enol ethers in the presence of TBDMSOTf: I. Yamamoto, K. Narasaka, Chem. Lett. 1995, 1129. The ring opening proceeds by cleavage of the C - O bond, and net substitution occurs with retention of configuration. The stereochemical result underscores the fact that the reaction proceeds by heterolytic cleavage of the C - O bond to give a secondary carbocation, which is stabilized significantly by the vinyl sulfide.

24. We considered the mechanistic possibility of pinacol-type rearrangement sequences. However, the formation of the aminal product inevitably positions the tertiary hydroxy group at the other ring-fusion carbon atom. X-ray crystallographic analysis of the p-bromobenzoate ester of 20b proved critical in ruling out this option.
