12. Further reduction of catalyst loading slowed the cycloaddition and allowed competitive formation of a significant amount of side product from the allylboration between 4 and 3.
13. This observation, however, is consistent with a limited study with allylboronic acid 1,3-propanediol ester and benzaldehyde, which showed that polar weakly coordinating solvents gave the fastest reaction rate (THF < toluene < dichloromethane < ethyl ether): Brown, H. C.; Racherla, U. S.; Pellechia, P. J. J. Org. Chem. 1990, 55, 1868-1874.
14. Control experiments showed that there is no retardation nor any metal-promoted acceleration of the allylboration step with catalyst 1.
