98. Fluoroalkene compounds obtained in this study as major isomers have coupling constants (3JHF ) 35.3-37.0). Those values are very consistent with those of compounds possessing (Z)-fluoroalkene units. See: Waschüsch, R.; Carran, J.; Savignac, P. Tetrahedron 1996, 52, 14199-14216. (E)-Fluoroalkenes have smaller coupling constants (3JHF ) 20.0-21.2).12a
99. Although precatalysts (1a and 1b) were equally effective for the conversion, column chromatographical purification of the crude obtained by the reaction with 1b was more easily conducted than that with 1a. Therefore, we preferentially used NHC precursor 1b at the experiments described later.

113. Mixing of 1b and DBU in THF resulted in facile formation of the corresponding NHC catalyst compared with that of 1b and DIPEA.
114. Although the reaction of 34b in the presence of MeOH afforded the corresponding FADI methyl ester in a slightly higher yield than that using EtOH as additive, the use of 2-propanol as an additive gave a complex mixture.
115. Attempted reaction of aldehyde 20b in the presence of 1b and DBU in EtOH at 70 °C was not completed within 2 h to give FADI 16b in 24% isolated yield.
