(27) Although 16 is much more stable than 34, in the presence of
added equal molar amounts of PhOH the air oxidation also became
significant. Without any “built-in” or added phenol, similar 5-membered
enol lactones in previous studies never suffered this air oxidation; cf.:

(28) The consistency of the NMR in ref 3a with those for 34 indicated
that oxidation of the natural sample occurred after the acquisition of
NMR data (before recording the [α]D and IR). It seems reasonable to
presume that NMR were recorded before [α]D and IR.
(5) Such alkyl-only stereogenic centers normally have rather low
optical rotatory effects. See, e.g.: (a) Mori, K.; Masuda, S.; Suguro, T.
Tetrahedron 1981, 37, 1329−1340. (b) Enders, D.; Schuesseler, T.

(29) In the absence of any natural sample, this appeared to be the only
feasible way to gain knowledge of the configuration of natural
plakinidone.
(30) The C18 OH appeared essential for this effect because the C11 of
racemic 30 (without the C18 OH) failed to resolve. However, it should
be noted that 34 is much more soluble in CD3OD than in CDCl3. Use of
(deaired) CD3OD as the solvent gave 13C NMR of much better quality.
(31) It is not rare to use MS data as the critical evidence for the
existence of peroxy bond(s) in identification of natural peroxides (cf. ref
33a). To avoid errors similar to that in the present case, inclusion of
reductive degradation (as in, e.g., ref 32b) is better performed if possible.
(32) Small optical rotations measured at low concentrations (e.g., c =
0.01) may be unreliable, leading to confusion in the determination of
absolute configurations. See, e.g.: Yong, K. W. L.; Barnych, B.; De Voss,
