41. Another experiment involving the N-acetyl iminium was also conducted, which indicated that the isomerizations of the imine itself and N-acetyl iminium hardly occur under normal conditions. See Supporting Information for detailed discussion.
42. It was reported that imines such as C-9-anthryl imines and C-2,6-disubstitutedphenyl imines partially exist in Z configuration; however, they are seldom used in the Staudinger reaction. See: Bjorgo, J.; Boyd, D. R.; Watson, C. G.; Jennings, W. B.; Jerina, D. M. J. Chem. Soc, Perkin Trans. 2 1974, 1081-1084.
43. The reactions of 10 with imines at 80 °C in toluene cannot proceed because compounds 10 cannot undergo the Wolff rearrangement at such a temperature.
44. The experimental results at 130 °C were given in the Supporting Information.

51. In our opinion, the isomerization occurs during the direct ring closure step. See Supporting Information for detailed discussion.
52. The exclusive exo-attack to form the zwitterionic intermediate C does not affect the cis/trans ratio of the products. If the exclusive exo-attack is the rate-determining step in the two-step Staudinger reaction, it will determine the rate of the product generation but not the cis/trans ratio.
53. If the C to D isomerization is considered reversible, the precise derivation of the relationship between cis/trans ratio and the rate constants cannot be approached. Otherwise, no one has proved the applicability of the Curtin-Hammett rule in such a multistep and complex system as the Staudinger reaction.
