16. We chose this cycle size because it was demonstrated in previous studies to be a good candidate to be formed by an intramolecular Nicholas reaction. See: Diaz D, Martin T, Martin VS. Double cationic propargylation: from linear to polycyclic ethers. Org Lett 2001;3:3289-3291.

21. The intramolecular formation of a five-membered hemiacetal favored the monooxidation of this system, even using an excess of oxidant.
22. In some cases a tiny amount of the diastereoisomer was obtained but the obtained ratio was always superior to 20:1.
23. In any case, collateral reactions such as the formation of homopropargylic ketones or products derived from hydride transfer were observed. See: (a) Soler M, Martin VS. An access to homopropargylic keytones from propargylic alcohols. Tetrahedron Lett 1999;40:2815-2816. (b) Ref. 11b.
