17. Recently, Mori reported a similar type of palladium-catalyzed reaction of propargylic carbonates with benzoate leading to formation of substituted carbapenams. In these reactions, nucleophilic benzoate reacts strongly with the π-allylpalladium complex from a more hindered site and produces a corresponding product having an exo-olefin, and hence exhibiting different regioselectivity from our result; see Ref. [3g].

23. We previously observed the formation of phenoxy substituted dihydrofuran as a byproduct by the reaction of 4-methoxycarbonyloxy-2-butyn-1-ol with phenol, see Refs. [5a] and [5b].
24. 3 is therefore interesting in view of this hypothesis, although the precise details of this reaction mechanism are still unclear.
25. The structure of 3gl has been confirmed by the hydrolysis of this product to form a known benzofuran-2-yl methanol.
