22. Significant improvement in isolated yield of 9a (87%) was obtained when distilled ene-carbamate 8a was used.
23. The estimated purity of ene-carbamates 8i and 8j was only 78% and 70%, respectively, by NMR spectroscopy.

30. Compound 4b was shown to activate acetylcholine receptors in embryonic cockroach neuronal cells. This response to application of 4b was blocked by the nAChR antagonist mecamylamine. Thus, 4b appears to be a nAChR agonist.
