35. An alternative procedure by using acryloyl chloride and HNa in THF gave (-)-19 in 70% yield.
36. This precatalyst is specially useful in catalyzing different metathesis reactions in electron-deficient substrates, see: a) S. B. Garber, J. S. Kingsbury, B. L. Gray, A. H. Hoveyda, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 8168,

38. When precatalyst 26 was used, compound 39 arising from a double CM reaction was also isolated in 6% yield:
39. The role of chelation effects in the course of the CM reactions has been highlighted in the illustrative review of Connon and (Chemical Equation Presented) Blechert, see: a) S. J. Connon, S. Blechert, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2003, 42, 1900, see in particular pp. 1906-1907;

42. Chelation effects were probably responsible for some of the unexpected regioselectivities observed in ROM/CM and ROM/CM/RCMsequences in several oxa- and azanorbornene derivatives. See, for instance: a) O. Arjona, A. G. Csákÿ, M. C. Murcia, J. Plumet, J. Org. Chem. 1999, 64, 9739;
