49. The same strategy was applied to the synthesis of 3-amino-1,3-pentadiene but this proved fruitless.
50. Amide 6 was chosen because cyclization was expected to produce a small number of diastereomeric pyrrolizidines.
51. The cis and trans stereochemical indicators refer to the relative position of the vinyl group with respect to the oxygen bridge.

54. Energy calculations were performed using MM2.
55. We cannot exclude the involvement of a selective retro Diels-Alder of 8b to rationalize the improvement in the diastereomers distribution, when 7 is converted into 8. However, the yield of 9 is expected to be much too little for the observed increment.
