19. However, there is also a case in which the cyclization-cycloaddition of an α-substituted isomünchnone diazo precursor generated exclusively a product with opposite diastereoselectivity: Maier, M. E.; Evertz, K. Tetrahedron Lett. 1988, 29, 1677.

29. 2AlCl uniformly failed to produce the desired Weinreb amide.
30. Compound 12 is presumably derived from the attack of the oxazolidone carbonyl by peroxide, reduction by sufite to the acyl carbamic acid, and decarboxylation.
31. Using either DCC or BOP as coupling reagents, amide formation required 3-4 days and resulted in product yields of 44% and 36%, respectively.
