61. At almost the same time as publication of our synthesis of (+)-anatoxin-a (Ref. 9), Martin et al. reported the synthesis of (+)-anatoxin-a from (R)-(+)-pyroglutamic acid in which enyne metathesis was used for construction of a 9-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonene skeleton. See:

64. The synthesis of (-)-ferruginine, which has a structure similar to that of anatoxin-a, was recently reported, in which a 7-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane skeleton was constructed from pyrrolidine derivative using an enyne metathesis.

79. In the metathesis of enyne having a silyl group on the alkyne, desilylation did not usually occur. See Ref. 4p.
80. The optical purity of the recovered 4a was completely same to that of the starting material 4a of the oxymercuration reaction.
81. 9 the structure of the synthetic (+)-N-Ts-anatoxin-a was incorrectly drawn as that of the antipode (i.e., (-)-N-Ts-anatoxin-a) because of the confusion arising from the unexpected inversion of chirality.
