38. All compounds give NMR and analytical data in accordance with the proposed structures.
39. 3 has been discussed previously and seems to be related to the deprotonation reaction of one of the plausible intermediates. This deprotonation would he crucial when the β-scission process was not a particularly favoured reaction. See reference [12].

43. 3 and MgO were also tested, affording worse results in all cases.
44. In the absence of molecular sieves (MS 4 Å), small amounts (5-10%) of the corresponding acids were detected in the crude reaction mixtures.
45. In the absence of tBuOH the desired esters were obtained in lower yields.
46. Esters are commonly observed as by-products in the oxidation of primary alcohols, although their selective preparation in this kind of homo-coupling process has rarely been reported and is normally restricted to intramolecular reactions.

52. + species is responsible for reaction with the alkene; for leading work see: a) A. A. Neverov, H. X. Feng, K. Hamilton, R. S. Brown, J. Org. Chem. 2003, 68, 3802, and references therein. The differences between alcohols and alkenes as nucleophiles and, importantly, the participation of the inorganic base and its likely role of irreversibly removing a proton are among the reasons that may play a key role favouring the alternative path postulated here.
53. The formation of these types of intermediates through the interaction of iodine-containing reagents and hydroxy groups is widely accepted. For spectroscopic evidence, sec: a) J. Madsen, C. Viuf, M. Bols, Chem. Eur. J. 2000, 6, 1140;

56. 3-iodanes related to E has been already pustulated: D. D. Tanner, G. C. Gidley, N. Das, J. E. Rowe, A. Potter, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1984, 106, 5261. On the basis of these studies, the presence of different dimeric compounds cannot be discounted. For the sake of simplicity these plausible intermediates are not shown.

58. This explains why only sub-stoichiometric amounts of this element were required to execute some of these transformations.
59. This kind of mechanism has previously been proposed in related sequences: C. McDonald, H. Holdcomb, K. Kennedy, E. Kirkpatrick, P. Vanemon, J. Org. Chem. 1989, 54, 1213. See also refs.[7a] and [21a].
