11. Baldwin's rules for ring closure classify the fused and spiro transition states as endo and exo processes, respectively. However, because the epoxide C-O bond that breaks is outside the newly formed ring in both cases, each may also be considered to be an exo process under the same construct. [See (37).] Thus, to avoid potential confusion, we prefer the distinct terms "fused" and "spiro.".
12. The fused/spiro nomenclature is commonly used in cyclopropane-opening reactions (38).
13. Many effective directing groups have been developed. For the pioneering work in this area, see (39).
