27. We did not encounter significant problems with rearrangements in our preparation of 3. However, both a Brook rearrangement and a [1,2] TMS group shift have been reported for this same coupling under different conditions. See: (a) Cunico, R. F.; Nair, S. K. Synth. Commun. 1996, 26, 803.

32. These conditions were first developed with ethyl acetoacetate as the β-keto ester component. The corresponding 2-alkenylfuran product was difficult to purify, however. Importantly, our originally reported conditions employing THF as a solvent were completely unsuccessful, resulting in no reaction. Use of ethanol at reflux led to product, but in low yields; reaction in dimethylformamide (starting at room temperature and warming to ca. 85 °C) was successful (55%) but not always reproducible. Reaction in acetonitrile at reflux was slow; but use of a hot 10:1 acetonitrile/water mixture resulted in reproducible yields of ca. 55%.

47. (Z)-14 can be isomerized to the corresponding (E)-isomer, but this process is much slower than the isomerization of (Z)-6. Treatment of (Z)-14 with 10 equiv of diphenyl diselenide in tetrahydrofuran at reflux affords, after 8 d, a 4.4:1 (E):(Z) ratio of alkenes.
