13. Annulation methods involving either carbon or oxygen radical addition followed by cyclization are also potential strategies. However, examples using this method have not been reported. For an example of an ionic annulation reaction leading to five-membered oxacycles see: M. Sekido, K. Aoyagi, H. Nakamura, C. Kabuto, Y. Yamamoto, J. Org. Chem. 2001, 66, 7142.
14. Intermolecular radical addition to β-alkoxy enoates under a variety of conditions fails to provide any product [Lewis acid activation, reactions at low (-78 or 0 °C) or high temperatures (80 °C, syringe pump addition)].
15. Many examples have been reported where heteroatom radicals (S, Se, Sn) add to substrates in an intermolecular fashion followed by intramolecular cyclization. [7a] O. Miyata, A. Nishiguchi, I. Ninomiya, K. Aoe, K. Okamura, T. Naito, J. Org. Chem. 2000, 65, 6922.

48. The lack of NOE between the C-2 methine and C-6 methylene hydrogen suggests that the isopropyl is in an axial orientation. This may reflect buttressing effects between this substituent and the diester functionality at C-3.
