27. The E-esters were briefly photolyzed to generate the corresponding Z-isomers, and then the esters were reduced with DIBAL, giving the corresponding alcohols. Consistent with the structural assignments shown, nOe enhancements were observed between the methyl and methylene of the Z-isomer whereas these interactions were lacking in the E-isomer. See ref 8 for details.
28. Diiodinated products were also detected by mass spectroscopy.
29. A control reaction performed by refluxing allyloxybenzene in DCE gave no reaction. This illustrated that the tetrabutylammonium iodide was an essential component of this process.
30. Full reaction details are described in the Supporting Information.
31. 4NI (3 equiv) in DCE. The solution was heated at reflux until consumption of starting material was complete as indicated by TLC.
32. 4NI in refluxing DCE for 18 h returned the material in an unaltered ratio (95 %, 12:13, 2.8:1).
