45. The double bond is stabilized at the 3,4-position by conjugation with the aromatic ring. After trifluoroacetylation the doublebond shift, which requires double-bond protonation, is highly disfavored. See ref. [3i].
46. This acid-sensitive diene underwent extensive decomposition.
47. The E-isomer can more easily access the s-cis conformation, which is necessary for the reaction to occur following a Diels-Alder pathway, thus giving evidence for a concerted [4+2] mechanism for this cycloaddition.
