60. We also wondered whether hydrogen bonding of the hydroxy group to the triflate might facilitate the activation of the substrate's Ar-OTf bond by enhancing the triflate's leaving group capability. However, the reactions of the methoxy derivative and the deoxygenized substrate operate at comparable rates.

71. Overman presented evidence for a unique directing effect of an alkene unit in a diastereoselective Heck cyclization. We had also considered such an interaction in our system (E,E)-9, but unselective ring closure of (E,E)-12 dispelled this idea (Table 1): (a) Earley, W. G.; Oh, T.; Overman, L. E.
