22. The potassium salts of several phenols were reported to undergo ortho-allylation in the presence of various allylic halides and catalytic amounts of zinc chloride but neither other products nor a mechanism were discussed: Bigi, F.; Casiraghi, G.; Casnati, G.; Sartori, G. Synthesis 1981, 310-312.

24. The replacement of the phenylthio group of 23 by allyl, Cl, and F as well as its oxidation to a sulfoxide is recorded in the literature but curiously no synthesis of 23 appears. Nishiyama, H.; Narimatsu, S.; Sakuta, K.; Itoh, K. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1982, 459-460.
