11. Amidocarbonylation can proceed in the absence of acid cocatalysts, though yields are reduced and pressing conditions required: M. Beller, M. Eckert, F. Vollmüller, J. Mol. Catal. A 1998, 135, 23-33.

23. These substrates can undergo carbonylation under pressing conditions (120°C, 80 bar CO, 41% yield), similar to reference [3], however, these conditions do not provide access to the cycloaddition (vide infra).

28. This may result from the acidic catalyst in these reactions, inhibiting 3 formation, or the more nucleophilic ROH, which could rapidly trap 3.
