93. 4 at -78°C for 24 h. The lack of product formation in this reaction, combined with the generation of the desired oxasilacycles when tethered allylsilanes containing bulkier groups at the silyl ether connection were employed, confirms that the mechanism of diene formation involves an intramolecular allylation step.

109. In our work on the synthesis of β-allyl-C-mannosyl derivatives using a related intramolecular allylation strategy, the isolation of intermediates along this mechanistic pathway supports this proposed mechanism: see reference 23e.

111. We do not discount a non-concerted elimination pathway in which ionization first generates an allyl carbocationic intermediate, which then collapses to the diene through loss of the trimethylsilyl group. However, the carbocationic intermediate would again be expected to give rise to an (E)-diene product for similar reasons to those outlined in the text.

115. Diene (E)-27 was not particularly stable; however, in some cases, small amounts of this side product could be isolated by HPLC and at least partially characterized (see the Supporting Information).
