34. 4 gave 13% of 5a.
35. 4 does not catalyze the conversion of 4a to 5a at room temperature.
36. In accord with this hypothesis, 10% AgOAc does not catalyze the reaction. For use of MgO as an acid scavenger, see: Espino, C. G.; Du Bois, J. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2001, 40, 598.

41. A mechanism involving a Myers-Saito diradical intermediate is also possible; however, no cyclopropyl ring-opening (see: Dopico, P. G.; Finn, M. G. Tetrahedron 1999, 55, 29) was observed in the Ag-catalyzed rearrangement of 17 to cyclopropyl ketone 18.
