14. The assignment of the major products as 1,4-naphthoquinone triflates was confirmed by the preparation of known, symmetrical 2,3-diaryl-1,4-naphthoquinones 5 and 9 from 4a and 4b, respectively.
15. The omission of the LiCl cocatalyst led to the formation of 3-methyl-2-p-anisyl-1,4-naphthoquinone as the major product by methyl transfer from the tin reagent.
