24. The same sequence has been, carried out from aldehydes. In all cases, the correponding epoxides could only be detected by GC-MS spectroscopy. These epoxides are particularly unstable as it has been previously shown (see ref 5a).
25. Relative configuration of epoxide lb has been determinated by NOE experiment. See Supporting Information.

29. As pointed out by one of the reviewers, it appears that the rearrangement could also possibly proceed via an NIH-shift like mechanism.
