6. The equilibration of E and Z isomers in the reaction mixture is likely catalyzed by Lewis acid 6. Other instances of this isomerization have previously been observed by Dr. S. Hong in this laboratory, details of which are found in ref 1.

8. The stereochemistry of the Diels-Alder adduct in Scheme 2 is assumed to be as shown due to the evidence found in Scheme 1 and ref 1. The C(2) epimer cannot be entirely ruled out as the reduction/alkylation sequence would provide the same product although it suggests an unfavorable exo-transition state.
