49. Thionyl chloride and trifluoroacetic acid are known to produce trifluoroacetyl chloride and then trifluoroacetic anhydride. Therefore, the reactive acylating reagent involved in the present reaction would be the bis mixed anhydride, the bis acid chloride, or mixed types.
50. 2O, cancels the decrease of enantioselectivity by contamination by an enantioisomeric ligand (see the text).

56. Strong coordination of triflate ligands to the magnesium ion may be a reason for the poor catalytic activity (see ref 7d).
57. Uncatalyzed Diels-Alder reactions of cyclopentadiene take place at room temperature: 80% of 8a after 5 min with 7a; 7% of 8b after 3 h with 7b.
58. 16e (32) The structural assignment of A was based on elementary analysis and the FAB-MS spectrum. In the presence of plenty of water under severe conditions, partial hydrolysis of the perchlorate salt of 9 takes place to produce A.
59. 2 at about 350°C. This heating procedure would produce partly dehydrated nickel species.

62. 2 complex does not undergo dissociation into components even in the presence of 3-acetyl-2-oxazolidine (Kanemasa; S.; Oderaotoshi, Y.; Tanaka, J.; Wada, E. Unpublished results).
63. 2O complex of the 4-substituted isopropylidene-2,2′-bisoxazoline forms these two transition structures depending upon the steric nature of the 4-substituent (Kanemasa, S.; Oderaotoshi, Y.; Adachi, K. Unpublished results).
64. 2O in the presence of dienophile 7.
65. The analysis was not completed because of the disorder of the acetone and the perchlorate ions. To solve this problem requires a spherical crystal and correction of absorption.
66. 2O or under uncatalyzed conditions has been discussed in ref 21.
