- 4cit is possible to selectively generate the monoenolate of 3 with 1 equiv of KN(SiMe3)2. However, inspection of molecular models indicated that olefinic ketone 6′, which would be generated a few steps later, would expose the undesired olefin face in its subsequent hydroboration.

- 12The preferred formation of compound 11 in the Claisen rearrangement was rationalized by comparison of the four possible transition states. Two could be immediately excluded because they would require a superposition of the cyclopentene residue and a bridge of the bicyclo[2.2.2]octane. Unfavorable steric interactions of the cyclopentene residue with the substituent at C(6) and CH2OBz group at the bridgehead are expected to arise in TS1, whereas these destabilizing interactions would be absent in TS2.

- 15The hydroxy groups were differentiated by the following sequence: 1) Me3Si/imidazole, CH2Cl2, RT→protects primary alcohol. Then MOMCl, iPr2NEt, CH2Cl2, RT→protects secondary alcohol. Then TBAF, THF, RT→removes SiMe3 from primary alcohol.

- 28Significant differences in the 1H NMR spectrum were observed if a sample of the iminium salt was dried under high vacuum before the measurement. Titration with incremental amounts of TFA showed that the chemical shifts in the 1H NMR spectrum of 1 change significantly with an increasing degree of imine protonation.
- 29A significant deviation in the magnitude of the optical rotation of synthetic 1 and the reported value was noted. This discrepancy could not be explained, but was tentatively attributed to the unknown purity and degree of protonation of a sample of 1 isolated from natural sources.
