25. The seven-membered product 3b could not easily be distinguished from the alternative isomeric structure 8b by standard 1D NMR techniques. However, HMBC experiments clearly indicated a correlation between H-4 and C-2, which would not be observable in 8b (see Scheme 2).
26. 1H NMR chemical shifts of the alkene proton to those of 3fZ and 3fE as well as related literature compounds. See Supporting Information for a discussion of these assignments.
27. A vicinal coupling of 9.5 Hz between the adjacent ester-substituted methines was observed, consistent with a trans relationship. See Supporting Information for additional discussion of structural assignments.
28. The connectivity of endocyclization products 8g,h was established via HMBC correlations between the alkene proton (H-3) and C-5.
