8. 8. In order to explain the high or complete diastereoselectivity observed for substrates bearing an ester (1g and 1h) or a carbamate group (1i) (entries 7-9, Table 1), an additional attractive interaction between the side chain carbonyl group and the nitrogen lone pair could also be considered. Attractive interaction N→C=O has been demonstrated both in solid state and in solution; see, for example: a) Schweizer, W.B.; Procter, G.; Kaftory, M.; Dunitz; J.D. Helv. Chim. Acta , 1978, 61, 2783-2808;

20. 11. In agreement with our previous results, cyclization of 1k under standard conditions afforded a complex mixture in which no trace (formula presented) of the desired cycloadduct 2 could be detected. However, this result indicates the inability of the side chain acetate carbonyl group to stabilize by coordination an alkylnickel intermediate such as 2′ (see Figure 3).
21. 12. Although in 3c and in 3e, a vinylnickel-carbonyl coordination could be the origin of the diastereoselection, we have been unable to find a likely explanation for our experimental results based on this hypothesis.
