Following the general procedure for compound 6ba, 21 mg of 7 (0.025 mmol, 0.025 equiv), 102 µL of benzaldehyde (1.0 mmol), 175 µL of N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.0 equiv, 1.0 mmol) and 130 µL of SiCl4 (1.1 mmol, 1.1 equiv) were combined with 0.82 mL of a 1.47 M solution of 4d (1.2 mmol, 1.2 equiv) in CH2Cl2 to yield after column chromatography (25 g SiO2 gel, Ø 20 mm column, hexanes/EtOAc gradient (12:1, 260 mL to 10:1, 220 mL)) and drying in vacuo (Abderhalden, 34 °C, 0.3 mm Hg ) 253 mg of 6da (92%) as a white needles. The diastereomeric ratio was determined to be 98:2 by 1H NMR (500 MHz) analysis of the crude product. Analytically pure material was obtained after recrystallization from hot EtOAc (ca. 0.25 mL) and hexanes (ca. 1.5 mL). mp: 85-86 °C ; 1H NMR: (500 MHz, CDCl3) 7.50 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2 H, HC(5)), 7.41 – 7.30 (m, 3 H, HC(6, 7)), 4.80 (d, J=4.1 Hz, 1 H, HC(3)), 3.08 (d, J=4.6 Hz, 1 H, OH), 1.97 – 1.82 (m, 2 H, HC(9) and H2C(8)), 1.58 (dd, J=14.1, 5.1 Hz, 1 H H2C(8)), 1.45 (s, 9H, H3C(12)), 1.01 (d, J=6.4 Hz, 3 H, H3C(10)), 0.99 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 3 H, H3C(10)); 13C NMR: (125 MHz, CDCl3); 137.2 (C(4)), 128.6 (C(7)), 128.1 (C(5, 6)), 127.9 (C(5, 6)), 120.4 (C(1)), 78.9 (C(2)), 77.0 (C(11)), 76.9 (C(3)), 44.8 (C(8)), 29.6 (C(12)), 24.6 (C(9, 10)), 24.2 (C(9, 10)), 23.9 (C(9, 10)); IR: (KBr Pellet) 3470 (s), 3036 (w), 3064 (w), 2981 (s), 2963 (s), 2868 (s), 1498 (w), 1473 (m), 1453 (m), 1406 (m), 1367 (s), 1285 (m), 1271 (m), 1187 (m), 1138 (m), 1084 (s), 1057 (s), 1029 (m), 1003 (w), 954 (w), 897 (m), 860 (m), 748 (m), 699 (s); MS: (ESI) 298.1 (65.6, M+Na+), 288.0 (56.2), 272.1 (22.5), 263.1 (18.9), 231.0 (11.8), 194.1 (14.7), 193.1 (100.0), 175.1 (45.5), 158.0 (26.6), 119.0 (31.9), 91.0 (52.6); HRMS: calcd for C17H25NO2Na+: 298.1788, found: 298.1783; TLC: 0.22 (hexane/EtOAc, 9:1) [CAM]; Opt.
