50. The related process involving intramolecular epoxide opening with a keto-phosphonate-derived enolate, followed by proton transfer and subsequent HWE olefination was also explored, but without success.

53. The palladium-catalysed alkylation of allylic carbonates can proceed without addition of an external base as alkoxide is generated from the carbonate anion in situ (J. Tsuji, I. Shimizu, I. Minami, Y. Ohashi, T. Sugiura, K. Takahashi, J. Org. Chem. 1985, 50, 1523-1529). Unfortunately, an external base was essential for reaction of carbonate 50.
