21. 99.5% ee of (+)-7 was obtained in 44% yield after 24 h reaction under the same conditions, together with 77% ee of (+)-ketone 8 in. 54% yield. Oxidation of the highly enantiomerically enriched (+)-7 gave (-)-8 which was converted to unnatural idesolied (+)-1 (see the Supporting Information).

26. 13C NMR spectrum (see the Supporting Information) indicated that this diastereomer is the epimer at the ketal carbon.
27. AZADO-catalyzed dimerization of racemic monomer 2 gave racemic idesolide (rac-1) along with the diastereomer (diastereomer- Rac) consisting of (R)-2 and (S)-2. The structure of this diastereomer was confirmed by X-ray crystallography (see the Supporting Information). (Chemical Equetion Presentation)
28. 19 brought about 45% ee (see the Supporting Information).
29. In light of the experimental results that the dimerization was promoted either by tertiary alkylamines or tertiary amine N-oxide, we speculate AZADO behaved as a possible general base.
