40. Use of C(9)-O-benzyl analog of 5c under the conditions of entry 7 in Table 2 gave the epoxide 2a at a chemical yield of 80% and 86% ee.
41. R = 17.7 min (2a), 25.7 min (3a), 91% ee.
42. The epoxidation of enones with alkyl or other non-phenyl groups attached to carbonyl led to only modest enantioselection.
