61. Through submersion of the needle tip into the solution ensures low temperature addition of the organolithium to the reaction mixture.

63. The less stable Grubbs 2nd generation catalyst formed more of 21 (20 % conversion) in the same reaction time, supporting this inference.
64. Structure of diene 22, see Supporting Information for full characterization.
65. Accurate assessment of the d.r. associated with the final homologation was not possible because of the presence of minor diastereomers associated with epimers at C13, C5 and C6. However, based on previous homologations with primary carbamates (and supported by the 13C NMR), we expect the d.r. of the final homologation reaction to be >95:5.
