10. The reaction can also be performed at pressures as low as 8 kbar. In order to reduce the reaction times, however, all high-pressure reactions were performed at 15 kbar.
11. Conversion was monitored by NMR and determined by integrating the signal of the methyl group of citraconic anhydride and those of the 2- and 6-methyl groups of the two products.
12. The furan cycloadducts return to their starting materials within a few days upon standing in solution at room temperature and within a few hours upon heating to 50°C.

15. One of the referees brought to our attention that this steric interaction can also be explained by application of Newman's "rule of 6". In the unreactive anhydride the carbonyl oxygen atom is six atoms apart from the H atoms on the 1-methyl group. See also: M. S. Newman, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1950, 72, 4783.
