29. The structure of 5 was assigned based on the X-ray analysis of the ketoaldehyde derived from cleavage of the cyclobutene ring.
30. The relative stereochemistry of 12 was assigned based on NOESY analysis.
31. A steric argument was used to rationalize the selectivity of the ene versus [2+2] pathway for simple bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (see reference [12]); prior pericyclic reactions of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes were limited to structurally simple substrates, and no further synthetic applications were reported.
32. Reaction of 3-phenylbicyclo[1.1.0]butyllithium with acetaldehyde or benzaldehyde followed by phase-transfer alkylation resulted in a low yield of the alkylated product.
33. For a demonstration of the radical nature of reactions of bicyclo[2.1.0]pentane with alkenes, see: a) P. G. Gassman, K. T. Mansfield, T. J. Murphy, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1969, 91, 1684-1689;

38. b) alkene Z/E isomerization during N-alkylation was not responsible for the lack of stereospecificity; (Z)-cinnamyl bromide when treated with N-(3-phenylprop-2-ynyl)diphenylphosphinylamide gives an alkylated product with an intact Z double-bond configuration in 67% yield.
