15. The crude product is contaminated with up to 10% [4]dendralene, which is the result of an oxidative dimerization process. This more volatile contaminant is easily removed by vacuum distillation.

17. All cycloadditions involving maleimide dienophiles were found to proceed exclusively through the endo mode.
