Another outstanding piece of work! Lots of interesting discussion.

Epoxidation of 3: you've over-complicated this with your orbital analysis...the epoxidation simply goes on the more electron rich alkene (the other one is electron poor because it's conjugated to the ester). Great discussion of the hydrogenation, including the possibility of epimerisation. I expect the "top" face (near the N-bridge) is more accessible than the other (near the 2-carbon bridge).

For your 13C analysis, it would have been good to try to quantify the "fit" with the lit data.

Well done!
