20. Direct N,C-dilithiation of O-aryl N-monoalkylcarbamates cannot be achieved due to an irreversible cleavage reaction of the initial formed N-lithiated intermediate (see ref 9). In contrast to this observation, the analogues O-allyl and S-allyl carbamates can be converted to the dianionic species, see: (a) Hanko, R.; Hoppe, D. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1981, 20, 127-128.

28. Normally, the salt TMEDA-HOTf precipitates as an oil, which solidifies on cooling to -78 °C. Due to its consistency, it undergoes reaction more slowly than 3 with the alkyllithium reagent. As a result, even when applying only 1.1 equiv of butyllithium, high yields of 6 are achieved (see ref 9).
29. The oxazinone byproduct 10 reacted under deprotection conditions C (see Table 2, entry 3) as well as carbamate 9e to the corresponding salicylic aldehyde 15c, so that a high overall yield was obtained.
