44. A more accurate estimation of relative transition-state geometries would be given by comparisons among the proposed vinylidene intermediates (Scheme 3); however, geometry calculations on transition metal-vinylidene complexes are less reliable, and the trend should be qualitatively no different.
45. Distance-reactivity relationships of this sort have been noted for other types of cyclization reactions; see, for example: (a) Nicolaou, K. C.; Dai, W. M. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1991, 30, 1387-1416.
