49. The assignments are based on the chemical shifts of the vinylic proton being more shielded in the Z isomer than in the E isomer: 6.59 ppm in (E)-2/5.59 ppm in (Z)-2; 6.42 ppm in (E)-3/5.73 ppm in (Z)-3; 6.27 ppm in (E)-4; 6.43 ppm in (E)-6.

54. According to a referee comment, the formation of G from A and similarly the formation of D from B might involve electron transfer from dialkylzinc rather than direct bimolecular homolytic substitution.
55. An alternative explanation would involve an iodine/zinc exchange between iodide 3 and diethylzinc. A reduction pathway involving iodine/magnesium exchange has been proposed for EtMgBr-promoted radical cyclization of iodoacetals, see: A. Inoue, H. Shinokubo, K. Oshima, Org. Lett. 2000, 2, 651.
