42. The formation of all-carbon quaternary centers in an asymmetric manner is one of the most difficult problems in organic chemistry, not least because the process requires the creation of a new C-C bond at a hindered center.

44. As far as we know, the Pd-catalyzed cyclizative coupling reaction of γ-allenols with allyl halides has not yet been reported. For its pioneering use in α-allenols, see: S. Ma, W. Gao, J. Org. Chem. 2002, 67, 6104.
