66. Formation of compound (-)-61 can be understood as a conjugate addition of cyanide to the unsaturated amide prior to ring closure, followed by ring closure, and then oxidation, thermodynamically driven by aromatization to the α-pyridinone ring.

74. Lithium di-iso-propylamide was prepared as follows: Freshly distilled di-iso-propylamine (1.4 mL, 10 mmol, 1.1 equiv) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (15 mL) and cooled to 0°C. n-Butyl lithium (6.6 mL, 1.37 M solution in tetrahydrofuran) was added dropwise over 5 min, and the mixture was stirred for 1 h at 0°C. The resulting lithium di-iso-propylamide solution (0.39 M) was then used immediately in the reaction.
