37. 3 nor pyridine could be replaced by each other. Pyridine proved not to be basic enough to induce HCl elimination (7 to 8) while we assume pyridine to act as a catalyst in the acylation of 8.
38. With 1.5 equiv of Cbz-Cl/pyridine the yield of 3a dropped to 30%.

51. 1H NMR. The assumed trans-configuration of both major isomers was confirmed after hydrolysis to 2a. The formation of minor amounts of cis -isomers cannot be excluded because of the complexity of the NMR spectra on the stage of 15.
52. 3-mediated 1,4-addition of a vinyl-Cu reagent to 14 (according to Yamamoto, Y. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1986, 25, 947-959) proceeded in 82% yield, however, with lower selectivity (dr = 3.2:1)
