22. The formation of 8 from 4a in the absence of excess alcohol may be attributed to the interception of the acylketene by the actetate formed in the course of the reaction. The resulting anhydride is then hydrolyzed in the workup with concommitent decarboxylation.

24. Attempts to generate the π-allylrhodium complex by modifying the catalyst in situ by the addition of P(OEt>3 failed; see: (a) Evans, P. A.; Robinson, J. E.; Moffett, K. K. Org. Lett. 2001, 3, 3269-3271.
