18. 13C chemical shifts of the thiazolidinone carbonyl carbons (δ 174-175) and the enoltriflate carbon (δ 167-170) for a series of compounds which suggests O-triflation for triflate 2 since triflate 1 led to coupling product. These compounds and various derivatives did not provide crystals suitable for x-ray analysis.

24. 15. Apparently, the vinyl adduct 11a is unstable to the reaction conditions since lower yields were obtained with longer reaction times. Purified samples of this compound stored frozen in benzene at -18°C underwent extensive decomposition in a period of several days.
