18. The lone example of transition metal-catalyzed olefin hydroalkoxylation is the Ru-catalyzed cyclization of o-alkenyl phenols, which is both inefficient and of limited scope: Hori, K.; Kitagawa, H.; Miyoshi, A.; Ohta, T.; Furukawa, I. Chem. Lett. 1998, 1083.
19. Although palladium(II) complexes activate olefins toward attack by oxygen nucleophiles, facile β-hydride elimination precludes hydroalkoxylation: (a) Hosokawa, T.; Murahashi, S.-I. Heterocycles 1992, 33, 1079.

27. Olefin isomerization represented the primary side reaction in these transformations.
28. The possibility of a significant acid-catalyzed background reaction was ruled out through control experiments (see Supporting Information).
