23. a) DFT studies on oxazaborolidinium catalysis suggest that hydrogen bonding between the catalyst and the substrate may not always occur: M. N. Paddon-Row, L. C. H. Kwan, A. C. Willis, M. S. Sherburn, Angew. Chem. 2008, 120, 7121-7125;

28. The X-ray crystal structure does not indicate the presence of a hydrogen bond between O2-H and O3.
29. Acetylenic esters were screened as dienophiles with various cyclic and acyclic dienes. However, presumably as a result of their lower reactivity, no product was detected.
