35. When using thionyl chloride, dimerization of the substrate predominantly occurred.
36. 4b,d,e a cyano group was used as an ester equivalent, and these model substrates were synthesized from intermediates in those reports.

43. Compound 39, which was synthesized by the reaction of a corresponding acetamide with TCCA, was also examined for the synthesis of aziridine. Treatment with 2 equiv of KHMDS in THF at -78 °C or 4 equiv of NaH in THF at 4 °C afforded the reduced product 37 in good yield.{A figure is presented}
44. In the absence of CSA, chemical yield varied significantly from trace to 70% for unknown reasons.
