19. Neither 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene or 2,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene reacted with ethylene in the presence of either 1 or 2.
20. Isomerization (over longer reaction periods) is observed with both catalysts 1 and 2. Thus, at least for catalyst 1, this isomerization cannot be attributed to the presence of acid.
21. Both the 20(S)- and 20(R)-isomers of the methyl ether corresponding to benzyl ether 6 have been previously prepared. The close similarity of their literature NMR spectral data does not allow for an unambiguous assignment. Trost, B. M.; Verhoeven, T. R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1978, 100, 3435-3443.

33. 3 precursors have been prepared by ozonolytic degradation of ergocalciferol, followed by a base-catalyzed epimerization and separation of the 20(R)- and 20(S)-diastereomers: Hijikuro, D. T.; Takahashi, T. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 3716-3722. For a route to the 20(S) side chain that uses stoichiometric palladium, see ref 8.
34. Notably, the Ru-H species 10 has been proposed as an intermediate in the coupling of alkynes with ethylene using catalyst 1 (see ref 5a).
