55. 2Ph is difficult due to the steric repulsion of electron-withdrawing groups, although the small and linear cyano group leads to much less disruption than does the ester overlap. This phenomenon is in accord with Boeckman's and our previous results: see: (a) Boeckmann, R. K.; Ko, S. S. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1982, 104, 1033.
56. (b) Ref 7. It was believed that in the case of cyclic enones coplanarity is maintained, and that may be the reason for their high reactivity.

58. Efforts to determine the stereochemistry of 5n were undertaken using nOe experiment. However, no satisfactory results could be obtained. For X-ray crystallographic analysis data, see Supporting Information.
59. Apart from the ability of the cyano group to undergo various structural manipulation depending on the reagents used, it can be used for various reactions: see: Liu, H.-J.; Zhu, J.-L.; Shia, K.-S. Tetrahedron Lett. 1998, 39, 4183-4186.
60. Since the carbamates are weak nucleophiles, Michael addition of them to enones generally needs the use of promoters; see: (a) Xu, L.-W.; Xia, C.-G.; Hu, X.-X. Chem. Commun. 2003, 2570-2571.
