26. We postulate that the Lewis acidity of the metal-ion complex was poisoned by strong ligation to the thiourea.
27. At high copper(I) loadings, saturation of the bridgehead nitrogen presumably reduces the amount of Brønsted base required for enolate formation.
28. The reaction was quenched and analyzed after 3 h (25% conversion, E/Z = 94:6) to minimize the extent of Cu(I)-promoted H/D exchange processes in 5 prior to cyclization.
