47. We also attempted to prepare tertiary amide-based auxiliaries for macrocyclization. However, the synthesis of the corresponding amides from N-ethyl-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzylamine was problematic. Typical peptide couplings (EDC, DCC, HOBt) as well as various reactions involving acyl chlorides failed to afford the desired tertiary amides.

59. Although the model systems in our molecular modelling study contain two olefinic sidechains, we believe it is reasonable to assume that similar energetic values would be obtained for en-yne substrates. This based upon the fact that the substitution of an alkyne for a alkene is a minor structural change unlikely to alter the solution state conformations in a significant manner.
60. The [12]paracyclophane isolated is the endo-product resulting from en-yne metathesis. The corresponding exo-product is never observed, as it results in the formation of a [11]paracyclophane that is too rigid to form via olefin metathesis.
