27. TLC evidence indicated that some ketone 8a was formed during the course of the reaction. Rautenstrauch also observed this phenomenon in the absence of AcOH and suggested that it occurred via formal loss of ketene.
28. 2 was optimal.

30. Longer reaction times or higher catalyst loadings led to complex mixtures minus starting material. Crude NMR indicated that some cyclized product was likely formed, but it could not be isolated free of other compounds.
31. Classes of palladium(II) complexes examined: Pd(II)-bisoxazolines (trifluoroacetate and tetrafluoroborate derivatives); see:

34. Kato K., Tanaka M., Yamamoto Y., and Akita H. Tetrahedron Lett. 43 (2002) 1511 and Pd(II)-BINAP (tetrafluoroborate derivative). In most experiments, no cyclization was observed. Instead, the reaction produced a mixture of uncyclized products. Pd(II) chloride-bisoxazoline complex did promote the rearrangement of 7a, but isolated product 8a was racemic

40. A reviewer correctly pointed out that intermediate 20 could cyclize to give 23. This can also be viewed as a 4π-electrocyclization if a (zwitterionic) resonance form of the carbene is considered.
