30. 4 is a rapid process on the NMR time scale at room temperature, involving the fluxional exchange between bound and unbound carbonyl esters. See ref 12.
31. 4-mediated monotransesterification was the only detectable reaction.

33. This result suggests that the mechanism leading to the titanium enolates postulated by Taguchi in the iodocarbocyclization process might need a slight revision, i.e., the requirement of an external deprotonating agent, such as the iodide anion released in the iodionium ion formation, or an added base.
34. At present we do not have structural information on these transiently generated titanated species. In particular, study of the titanated derivative of the disulfone (1c), for which a true enolate form is forbidden, might prove of structural interest.
