7. For example, the addition of H2O (0.55 equiv) to a typical reaction results in only a marginal decrease in the yield and ee value of the product (< 2% in each case); see the Supporting Information for details.

9. To corroborate our comparison of all three variants of the allylic alkylation reaction, we carried out analogous 31P NMR spectroscopic experiments for the equivalent conversion of allyl enol carbonate and silyl enol ether substrates into ketone 4 and obtained similar results.[6]

38. a) Neutral ν2-alkenyl complexes have been postulated previously to be long-lived states prior to oxidative addition in related allylic alkylation reactions. It has also been assumed that the product of oxidative addition leads directly to a cationic rf-allyl complex. For examples, see: L. A. Evans, N. Fey, J. N. Harvey, D. Hose, G. C. Lloyd-Jones, P. Murray, A. G. Orpen, R. Osborne, G. J. J. Owen-Smith, M. Purdie, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 14471-14473;
