30. 1-Bromoprop-1-ene (Aldrich; mixture of isomers) was used as supplied. Thermal electrocyclic ring-opening of any (Z)-3,6-dimethoxy-1-(1-propenyl)benzocyclobuten-1-ol (i.e. the Z-isomer of 9e) produced in the Grignard addition step would probably be followed by the 1,7-shift of an allylic hydrogen rather than the 6π electrocyclisation (see reference 8a).
31. Benzocyclobutenylmethyl systems readily undergo ring fission (or expansion) under the influence of developing negative (or positive) charge at the alpha-position (see Kündig, E.P.; Perret, C. Helv. Chim. Acta 1981, 64, 2606, and references cited therein).
