8. This might be caused by basic contaminants rather than the basicity of the ylide itself; Xie has noted in ref 3b that epimerizations of other lactones occurred only when ylides were not adequately washed free of base.

10. Isomerization of enol ethers with electron-withdrawing substituents occurs relatively easily, and 2-(ethoxycarbonylmethylene)tetrahydropyran isomerizes spontaneously on standing: (a) Sauvé, G.; Deslongchamps, P. Synth. Commun. 1985, 15, 201-212.
11. We found that (E)-8d and (Z)-8d did not interconvert when heated in toluene (111°C, 24 h). Wittig reactions on cyclic anhydrides often proceed via acyclic acylphosphorane intermediates to yield enol lactone products of E-geometry, even though the (Z)-isomers are more stable: (b) Abell, A. D.; Massy-Westropp, R. A. Aust. J. Chem. 1982, 35, 2077-2087.

The conformation of a six-membered ring can be expressed in spherical polar coordinates such that d indicates the amount of puckering; θ = 0 or 180° corresponds to a chair; θ = 90°, φ = 60n (where n = 0, 1, 2, ...) corresponds to a boat, and θ = 90°, φ = 60(n + 0.5) corresponds to a twist-boat. (Z)-8d gives d = 0.96; φ = 74°; θ = 88°.
13. J values for (Z)-8b are available from ref 4.
