18. The absolute configurations of 2b and 2c were speculated on the basis of the similarity of the CD spectra of 2a and 2d.

24. In general, the aza-Wittig rearrangement is considerably slower than the corresponding oxa-Wittig rearrangement. To enhance the reactivity of the aza-Wittig rearrangement, several contrivances have been developed. For reviews, see: (a) Vogel, C. Synthesis 1997, 497.

26. The X-ray crystal structure analysis shows that the distance between C4 and C9 of 2a is 3.8 Å (Figure 2). The present rearrangement should proceed via a deprotonation of the C9 equatorial proton and an inversion of the configuration at the carbanion chiral center. It has been reported that [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement proceeds with inversion of configuration at the migrating terminus, see: (a) Verner, E. J.; Cohen, T. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1992, 114, 375.
