10. All of the extracts show antifungal activity against Asperigillus oryzae, Penicillium notatum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The isonitriles are generally responsible for this activity.
11. 8 Because the CD spectra of 1 and 2 are similar in shape, 1 must have the same absolute stereochemisty as 2.

16. Reaction of 1-chlorocyclohexene oxide or its thermal rearrangement product 2-chlorocyclohexanone with a nucleophile results in the same product. For example, hydrolysis of either compound at 0-37°C leads quantitatively to 2-hydroxycyclohexanone. No significant rearrangement of the chloroepoxide to the aα-chloroketone occurs during the hydrolysis, as the rearrangement requires a higher temperature (80-100°C). Both compounds react with amines to give the same 2-aminocyclohexanones. Gold, B.; Leuschen, T. Chem.-Biol. Interact. 1983, 45, 305-314.
17. A mixture of 1-chloro-cis- and -trans-4-methylcyclohexene oxide rearranges exclusively to trans-2-chloro-4-methylcyclohexanone at 80-100°C. A common α-keto carbonium ion-chloride ion-pair intermediate is proposed. McDonald, R. N.; Tabor, T. E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1967, 89, 6573-6578.
