espectively) due to the cyclohexylidene moiety. Treatment of 86 with TBDPSCl and<br />

imidazole furnished the monosilylated compound 87 in 80% yield. As expected, its 1 H<br />

NMR spectrum showed a singlet at δ 1.1 for the tert-Bu protons of the TBDPS group.<br />

Ozonolysis of compound 87, following a reported procedure 116 directly produced the γ-<br />

lactone 88 in 72% yield. The presence of the γ-lactone function in it was confirmed from<br />

the strong IR band at 1742 cm -1 and the 1 H NMR resonance at δ 5.96 (dd, J = 13.7 and 2.4<br />

Hz). The coupling values, 2.4 Hz and 13.7 Hz of H-3 established its syn and anti<br />

relationships of H-3 with the two neighboring protons, H-2 and H-4. This, in turn proved<br />

the anti-anti relationship of H-4 in 83d (Scheme III.1.8). Accordingly, the stereochemistry<br />

of all other diastereomers 83a-c was ascertained.<br />
