13. In this case, only E-4A was detected. In the cross metathesis step with simple alkenes, longer periods of heating give primarily the E-isomer: (a) Giessert, A. J.; Diver, S. T. J. Org. Chem. 2005, 70, 1046-1049.

15. Similar studies were conducted with pure, E-4B: 4 equiv TFA promoted the cyclization (100% conversion, 73% isolated). However, in the one-pot reaction, 4 equiv of TFA did not result in full conversion of the intermediate 1,3-diene. Since excess alkene was still present, higher amounts of acid were needed, see ref 8.

19. Interestingly, the He study (ref 7) reported intermolecular 1,2-hydroamination of unactivated alkenes. In the present case, it is likely that some loss of material is due to addition reactions to remaining 1-hexene.

23. 1,3 strain was invoked in N-acyl piperidinone to explain diastereoselection during conjugate addition reactions: (a) Brown, J. D.; Foley, M. A.; Comins, D. L J. Org 1988, 110, 7445-7447. For similar reasons, the N-tosyl group in a piperidine ring system causes the 2-substituent to occupy an axial position.

31. In this case, fewer equivalents of TFA were found to promote the cyclization. Carbene 1 also promoted this metathesis.
