79. Stereochemistry at C2 of the major isomers was assigned based on related Claisen rearrangement using allyl alcohols. See Ref. 15. Attempts to gain crystal structures failed, and isomers with moderate ratios are also difficult to separate.
80. Allene 40 was obtained in 67% as a single isomer from the reaction of ynamide (R)-10 with chiral propargyl alcohol (S)-35.
