45. In reference 11 it has been claimed, on the basis of a COSY experiment, that by reaction of racemic trans-3-butadienyl-2-azetidinones with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, a conjugate diene was formed. However, NOE irradiation of vinylic protons on compounds 7a, 7b and 7e resulted, respectively, in 5, 6 and 5% enhancements of the signals corresponding to H1′, which is in agreement with the proposed nonconjugated structure. [16] Considering the diversity of the nomenclature which is used to define facial stereoselectivity in Diels-Alder reactions with chiral dienes with a stereogenic allylic substituent, it is necessary to indicate our choice. In the depicted conformation (see Figure 2), which could not be the reactive one, syn addition refers to the unlike addition, following the Seebach-Prelog convention.

52. The structure of cycloadducts 14 was tentatively assigned on the basis of NMR techniques as the exo-endo and the exo-exo isomers, and is in good agreement with previous reports (see reference 20). However, we were unable to obtain totally satisfactory analytical data. (Chemical Equation Presented)
