35. The use of two different silyl groups (e.g. TES and TBS) is not necessary in principle. However, we had initially planned the use of standard achiral ethynylating reagents (such as ethynylmagnesium bromide) in the reaction with 9. In anticipation of unsatisfactory diastereoselectivities in these reactions (as it turned out to be the case), we envisaged the oxidation of the resulting alcohols (10 +epimer) to a conjugated ynone, followed by stereoselective reduction. Since a free β-hydroxy carbonyl group might be convenient for that purpose, we placed an easily cleavable silyl group (TES) at this position. However, when we finally resorted to the asymmetric ethynylation of 9, we decided to maintain the already present TES group.
36. 2S, the asymmetric ethynylation to 11 did not work.

38. In addition to trimethylsilylacetylene, we also used 2-methyl-3-butyn-2- ol: D. Boyall, F. López, H. Sasaki, D. Frantz, and E.M. Carreira Org. Lett. 2 2000 4233 4236 However, whereas the addition step was successful, all attempts to cleave the acetone fragment solely led to decomposition
39. Aside from the contributions of Carreira's group, we have found only few examples of the use of their asymmetric ethynylation methodology: (a) R.K. Dieter, and H. Yu Org. Lett. 3 2001 3855 3858
