15. Compound 6 was produced from commercially available 4-pentenal in 91% yield and >99:1 dr using our highly (E)-selective MeMgBr mediated Wadsworth-Emmons procedure; see: Claridge, T.

16. The stereochemical outcome of this reaction was initially assigned by reference to our transition state mnemonic which rationalizes the diastereoselectivity observed upon conjugate addition of lithium amides derived from α-methylbenzylamine; see: Costello, J.
