30. (a) Using 1:1 complex of the Au catalyst and AgSbF6 significantly lower the yield of the reaction. At this stage, it is unclear why the 2:1 complex gave higher yields of the product. It has been noted that that the chloro-bridged dinuclear gold complex is formed under this condition; A. S. K. Hashmi, M. C. Blanco, E. Kurpejović, W. Frey, J. W. Bats, Adv. Synth.

33. As observed in the previous study for the siloxycyclization-[3,3]- sigmatropic pathway of 3-siloxy-1,6-enynes, the reaction gave no silyl ether 5a, even in the absence of any alcohol additives.(a)For the detailed procedure for the synthesis of the substrates, see the Supporting Information;(b) we also tried to investigate the reactivity of 5-methoxypent-3-en-yne derivative of 8. However, all our efforts to prepare the 5-methoxy-3-en-1-ynes from the corresponding alcohols proved troublesome, because of the poor stability of the corresponding alcohols under the reaction condition. The reaction conditions investigated include; (i) NaH/MeI in THF or DMF; ii) Ag2O/MeI in various solvents; iii) CH3OC=NHCCl3 with various Lewis acids.
34. (a)Using other solvents (CH3CN, THF, EtOAc) significantly decreased the yield of the reaction; (b)we also examined various trialkylsilyl ethers: trimethylsilyl ethers provided the target in somewhat smaller yield, while triisopropylsilyl ethers significantly dropped the yield.
35. (a)The reaction performed in the presence of HF (up to 1 equiv) gave led to the complete decomposition of the starting material with no indication of the product formation; (b)the catalytic reaction under aerobic conditions (open flask condition) gave comparable results to the reactions under N2 atmosphere;(c)the reaction of the corresponding alcohol led to decomposition of the staring material with no indication of the product formation; also, we found out that the TES silyl ethers of tertiary alcohols are stable in general under the reaction condition-based on these experiments, alternative explanation on the cyclopentenone formation promoted by the initial desilylation and the subsequent cyclization can be reasonably excluded; (d) it should be noted that the scope of the reaction was strictly limited to the terminal alkynes; reaction of internal alkynes led to the decomposition of the staring material with no indication of formation of the cyclopentenones.
