43. Ratios were determined by GC. and are raw. unstandardized numbers. The silicon iodides are unstable, so GC response factors for these compounds were not available and they were generally only identified by GC-MS.
44. For example, see the additions of haloesters in E. Baciocchi and E. Muraglia, Tetrahedron Lett., 1994,35,2763. An excess ofhaloester (2.5-10 equiv) is generally used.
