26. When n-BuLi is used, the debrominated product is observed in approximately 5% yield.
27. The relative stereochemistry of the major diastereomer of 8d was determined by X-ray diffraction and is consistent with addition through a six-membered chair-like transition state (see Ref. 9a). The relative stereochemistry of the remaining products was assigned in analogy based on spectroscopic analysis.

29. (-)-1 is the unnatural antipode. Both enantiomers of tertbutanesulfinamide are readily accessible; use of (S)-tertbutanesulfinamide should provide access to the natural antipode.
