7. Calculations were performed with the B3LYP functional in conjunction with the 6-31G(d) basis set. Electronic energies are from single-point calculations on the optimized geometrics.
8. Using thermodynamic strain energy to dictate synthetic planning is rare, though kinetic energies have been used to great effect with one example being calculation of atropisomeric equilibrations to determine the ordering of bond constructions for the vancomycin aglycon:, D.

20. Intriguingly, use of either of these reagents separately did not afford the desired product.
21. It is worth noting that if 17 was first added to aldehyde 14, no attempt at subsequent haloetherification to reach 20 directly succeeded in any observable yield (although at best only 50 % of material could be advanced to the desired product due to the extra stereogenic center).
22. Earlier protection of the phenols as benzyl ethers prevented the smooth preparation of alcohol 13 because of issues of additional strain imparted by these groups in forging critical C-C bonds.
