14. The role of the 4Å-MS is not clear.
15. In the case of using 4-Å molecular sieves as an additive instead of benzyl isocyanide, the yield of 3 k was decreased because two olefinic isomers of 3 k were formed.

17. The structure of 4a is as follows: (equation presented)
18. One possible reason that cyclopentanone-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester did not produce a ring-expansion product is that the retroaldol reaction (carbon-carbon bond cleavage) of a metalacyclopentene or cyclobutene intermediate might be difficult.

36. In the case of Ref. [12], deuterium-labeling experiments indicate that a rhenium atom of an alkenyl-rhenium intermediate is located at the near side of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. Therefore, we thought that the intermediate in Scheme 1 must be similar to that of the intermediate reported in Ref. [12].
