53. The dienes are acid sensitive and are consumed by dimerization and/or polymerization in these cases.

55. Addition of MeMgBr (1 equiv) to a toluene solution of 1a gave a clear solution only with a MeMgBr/1a ratio near 0.5; with greater or lesser amounts of MeMgBr, the mixture was cloudy. With a total ROH:MeMgBr ratio of 2, the use of pentanol (1 equiv) as a "dummy" alcohol gave a faster and more efficient reaction. Presumably, the ROH:ROMgBr ratio affects the speciation of ROMgBr. For an example of a dimeric structure, see: Moseley, P. T.; Shearer, H. M. M. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1968, 279-280. Reaction is much slower with MeMgCl and faster but less efficient with MeMgI.
56. The regioselectivity is the ratio of ([5] + [6]):([3] + [4] + [7]).
57. A predominance of 5/6 regioisoniers is expected on the basis of greater electron-donating properties of a methyl group vs a hydroxymethyl or methoxymethyl group. Only 3/4/7 regioisomers can form if diene and dienophile are tethered by association with a Lewis acid in the TS.

59. For example, 1a was 1.2 times more reactive than 1b toward 2a in toluene solution at 120°C as determined in a competition experiment.
60. Chelation of 8 by 2b (i.e. 15b) prevents IMDA reaction; IMDA reaction is feasible with monodentate coordination (e.g., 14).
