40. The isoxazolidine ring formed in the key cycloaddition reaction was strategically left to increase the steric bias for the ensuing formation of the quaternary stereogenic center.
41. The resulting aldehyde tended to epimerize during purification.
42. The formation of hemiacetal 20 effectively prevented the Cannizzaro reaction of the aldol product.

47. The hydroxy group was likely to work as an internal base to assist the regioselective elimination.
48. 6-Endo cyclization concomitantly occurred to give 36 in 17% yield. The undesired product 36 could be converted back into 30 by treatment with tBuLi in THF at -78C.
