16. 1H NMR spectrum. The stereochemical assignments of complexes 12 and 13 were made by analogy.
17. The addition of Lewis acid to noncomplexed enol ether substrates did not result in rearrangement to the corresponding ketones. A mixture of recovered starting material and alkene isomerization products were obtained instead. Additionally, significant substrate conversions were only observed when > 1.0 equiv of diethylaluminium chloride was employed. Indeed, the Lewis acid character of dialkylaluminium chlorides has been found to be highly dependent on reaction stoichiometry: (a) Evans, D. A.; Chapman, K. T.; Bisaha, J. J. Am. Chem.
