49. Norbornane, bicyclo[2.1.1]heptane, cyclopentane, and cyclohexane are the common frameworks for products obtained by solvolysis of 1-norbornyl triflates. For instance, see:. Müller P., Mareda J., and Milin D. J. Phys. Org. Chem. 8 (1995) 507

54. Ionization has been also proposed as the first step for the solvolysis of related spiroepoxide 1-norbornyl triflates (i.e., Ref. 7).
55. To the best of our knowledge no precedents have been reported for the formation of the interesting bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane system by rearrangement of 1-norbornyl cations. In this sense, see an unfortunate attempt in:. Applequist D.E., and Klieman J.P. J. Org. Chem. 26 (1961) 2178
56. Several reports have revealed that eight-membered rings are better formed if conformational restrictions imposed by an existing ring or other functional groups are present in the precursor (e.g., see Ref. 4b and references cited therein).
57. Suzuki et al. have taken advantage of 8-exo-tet hydroxy epoxide cyclizations for the total syntheses of several interesting natural eight-membered cyclic ethers. For instance see Ref. 5a and references cited therein.
58. Acid catalysis is probably acting in the process. A synchronous 7-to-9 step cannot be discarded.

60. C2-C3 rearrangement is the common observed process for related spiroepoxide 1-norbornyl triflates (Ref. 7).
61. Note the undetected 6-exo-tet hydroxy-epoxide cyclization of 10, under the used reaction conditions, probably due to the unfavorable, and conformationally-restricted, disposition of both reacting groups.
