27. The dependency of the extent of inhibition on the amount of the radical scavenger used in the reaction was pointed out by a reviewer.
28. Duplicates of both the uncatalyzed and catalyzed reactions were run at 0, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, and 10 mol % of the scavenger, 4,4′ -dithiobis-(2,6-di-tert-butylphenol), neat and in 0.2 M solution in EtOAc. The progression of the reaction was monitored by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The details of this experiment are described in the Supporting Information.

35. The intramolecular trapping experiments of 5-hexenoyl radical derived from 5-hexenal and azodicarboxylate both with and without catalyst were also carried out. In both cases, the formation of 2-methyl cyclopentanone derivative was not observed; instead, only the normal coupled product (7b/7b′) was isolated in good yield.
