43. 2, could lead to allylic iodide isomerization. For instance, see: (a) Sibbett, D. J.; Noyes, R. M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1953, 75, 761.

46. N2′ ring-closing pathway (5-endo-trig) is unfavored by Balwin's rules, similar 5-endo-trig ring-closing reactions have been reported for the synthesis of pyrrolidines. See, for example: (a) Padwa, A.; Norman, B. H. J. Org. Chem. 1990, 55, 4801.

53. 1 H NMR analysis showed only 2k along with unreacted starting material. Extensive formation of the endo isomer (3k) along with significant amounts of decomposition were observed after prolonged heating.
