23. Some substrates possess specific structural requirements such as pre-formed carbenes and specific α-diazocarbonyl compounds.
24. For instance, the rhodium-catalyzed reaction showed a complex product distribution arising from several competing processes (ref 7).
25. The dienyne cyclization shown in Scheme 2 required a stoichiometric amount of pre-formed Fischer carbene (ref 6a).

27. The possibility that the first step involves an alkyne metathesis followed by two diene RCM steps cannot be ruled out. However, later experiments favor the proposed mechanism (see text).
28. Dienyne RCM proceeds at a somewhat slower rate with the free alcohols.
29. NMR reactions were conducted in 0.2-0.3 mmol scale at 0.01-0.07 M substrate concentration.
