Abstract

The stereochemical assignment of 8 was made by examination of the vicinal coupling constant in the IH NMR. The coupling constant (29 Hz) of the protone on the carbon bearing a hydroxyl group clearly indicated that 4 was three diastereomer. 7b, e Only trace amount of the erythro diastereomer was observed on IH NMR.
