26. Use of the corresponding phosphonium phenoxide provided lower yields and a much slower reaction.
27. Control experiments whereby a cis- or mixed-lactam was mixed with the precatalyst or eventual catalyst or phenoxide showed no hint of epimerization.
28. We did see the analogous open, silylated product in the o-QM cyclization reaction, which subsequently cyclized upon fluoride treatment. See ref. 11 for more information.
