37. 11 Interestingly, it was observed that yields tended to be higher when older samples of t-BuLi were employed. We speculate that the presence of lithium hydroxide modulates the reactivity of the generated organolithium.

41. Attempts to engage allyl alcohol in the cross-metathesis reaction were unsuccessful, possibly as a result of competing isomerization reactions. We and others have noted the ability of certain secondary allylic alcohols to undergo isomerization to ketones; see: (a) Hoye, T. R.; Zhao, H. Org. Lett. 1999, 1, 1123.
