11. Replacement of the vinyl group by hydrogen creates enantiomers. The term pseudo-enantiomer is used routinely for related pairs of Cinchona alkaloids, e.g. quinine and quinidine.

13. The solvolysis of C9 mesylated quinine and quinidine (6′-R = OMe instead of 6′-R = H) was faster than that of 1-OMs and 2-OMs (4-12 h vs 3-4 d for the cinch bases). Cage expansion was less developed (9% for quinine and 36% for quinidine in MeOH). In methanol the products with intact [2.2.2]azabicyclic cage were formed with epimerization at C9 (C9-nat:C9-epi ∼ 1:1). For C9 carbocations derived from quinine and quinidine an open classical cation rather than a nitrogen-bridged species becomes more favorable because of extended conjugation with the 6′-OMe donor ii ↔ iii.

19. The structure of the nitrogen-bridged intermediate remains open to discussion. While we prefer a flat-topped a-bridged species, a referee has suggested that the limiting case of the highly electrophilic, parent model cation (Q′= H and vinyl group replaced by H) in the gas phase can be described as a conventional aziridinium ion (B3LYP/6-31G* calculations).
