44. Concentration at higher temperature gave significantly lower yields.
45. Since these side products are generally formed in the subsequent reaction, they do not interfere in the cyclopropanation reaction. Indeed, no significant difference in the yields were observed in cyclopropanation when the crude ylide was used.
46. See Supporting Information.
47. The iodonium ylide of the Meldrum's acid is an exception since it is stable at room temperature for many weeks
48. Müller and Hadjiarapoglou have reported the synthesis of this iodonium ylide in 56 and 61% yield respectively (see refs 5f and 5o).
49. Five percent yield was obtained when MgO was added.
