27. Wittig reaction of aldehyde 8 with methoxymethyltriphenylphosphonium chloride and potassium hexamethyldisilazane (KHMDS) in THF, followed by hydrolysis of the resulting enol ether with aqueous hydrochloric acid in THF, gave aldehyde 48 in 85% yield over two steps.
28. A Monte Carlo conformational search was performed using the MMFF force field as implemented in Spartan 2005.
29. The cis cycloadduct 41 was calculated to have a conformational energy of 163.4 kcal/mol, whereas the cycloadduct (epimeric at C3 and C3a) had a conformational energy of 171.9 kcal/mol.

33. The toluene/PPTS conditions were also examined with substrates that contained α-methoxy, α,β-unsaturated esters dipolarophile fragments. In these cases, the cycloaddition substrates decomposed to give intractable mixtures.

51. Although bicyclo[3.3.0]octane ring systems are generally observed in intermolecular dipolar cycloadditions in which a dipole is connected to an alkene through a three-carbon tether, bicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring systems have been observed, see: Koumbis, A. E.; Gallos, J. K. Curr. Org. Chem. 2003, 7, 585-628.
52. All cycloaddition reactions were performed in thick-walled sealed tubes for reaction volumes greater than 2 mL and in screw-cap vials with Teflon caps for reaction volumes of 2 mL or less.
