58. The only available Pt-mediated oxycyclization of a γ-allenol is the 6-endo eyelization of 2,2-diphenyl-hexa-4,5-dien-1-ol leading lo 6-methyl-3,3-diphenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran. See: Z. Zhang, C. Liu, R. E. Kinder, X. Han, H. Qian, R. A. Widenhoefer, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 9066.

75. The formation of all carbon quaternary centers in an asymmetric manner is one of the most difficult problems in organic chemistry, not leasl because the process requires the creation of a new C-C bond at a hindered center. For recent selected reviews, see: a) P. G. Cozzi, R. Hilgraf, N. Zimmermann, Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2007, 5969;

81. As far as we known, the Pd-catalyzed cyclizative coupling reaction of γ-allenols with allyl halides has not yet been reported. For its pioneered used in α-allenols, see: S. Ma, W. Gao, J. Org. Chem. 2002, 67, 6104.
82. To the best of our knowledge, no catalytic deprotection of MOM ethers has previously been reported. This unprecedented gold- and palladium-catalyzed MOM ether cleavage is extremely mild and selective. For comprehensive reviews, see: a) P. G. M. Wutz, T. W. Greene. Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 4th ed., Wiley, New York, 2006;

84. Substrate-directable reactions are an important class of selective organic transformations, and understanding their mechanism of direction is paramount to their utility. For a review, see: A. H. Hoveyda, D. A. Evans, G. C. Fu, Chem. Rev. 1993, 93, 1307.
85. The preferential regioselective 7-endo cyclization here differs markedly from that of the only reported La-mediated oxycyclization of a γ-allenol, namely the 6-endo/6-exo cyclization of hexa-4,5-dien-1-ol leading to 6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran and 2-methylenetetrahydro-2H-pyran as a 4:1 mixture. See reference [15].
