22. We propose this term ("Rautenstrauch cyclopropanation") in order to clearly differentiate it from the palladium-catalyzed cyclization of 1-ethynyl-2-propenyl acetates to give 1,4-cyclopentadienyl acetates, which afford 2-cyclopentanones, a process that we propose to name as "Rautenstrauch pentannulation": a) see reference [4a];

48. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 2901-2904. In this preliminary communication, Fehr and Galindo have also synthesized enantiomerically pure precursors I and II and then submitted them to cyclization giving rise to some unexpected results; this prompted them to suggest that Soriano/Marco-Contelles' proposal for the mechanism of the Rautenstrauch cyclopropanation (reference [18]) should be re-considered; their mechanistic proposal has been recently re-analyzed by us (reference [22]).

50. The conclusions from a recent DFT study on chiral precursors 31 and 33, and others, support the mechanism shown in Scheme 9B as the favored path, and suggest that the degree of chirality transfer depends on the nature and stereochemistry of the starting enyne.
