37. This method furnishes a mixture of trans-and cis -isomers. Remarkably, these were chromatographically separable with only modest losses (see the Supporting Information).

50. It should be noted that: (i) The acetylenic Grignard was superior to the lithium variant in the addition reaction. (ii) Lindlar hydrogenation [ Lindlar, H.; Dubuis, R. Org. Synth. 1973, 5 (Collect.) 880
51. Lindlar, H. Helv. Chim. Acta 1952, 35, 446 ] of the alkyne failed, presumably on steric grounds. Thus, attempted Lindlar hydrogenation of 23 resulted in exclusive reduction of the olefin -(iii) Schwartz hydrozirconation [
52. Hart, D. W.; Schwartz, J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1974, 96, 8115 ] of the ethynyl group also failed; (iv) the configuration of 23 was ascertained by NOESY spectroscopy

58. The conversion of 29 into 30 reflects an unprecedented mode of reactivity. However, related Diels-Alder reactions of quinone monoketal cognates of 29 are documented
