66. The authors report trans-fusion of the rings of 50 based on NOESY crosspeaks; however, the spectroscopic data for 50 match those of 55, which appears to have cis-fusion of the rings based on strong 1D nOe enhancement between the two angular hydrogen atoms. Importantly, the diastereotopic methyl peaks from the malonate tether in 49 appear as a 6-hydrogen singlet in the 1H NMR spectrum although the 1H NMR spectrum of 50 and all analogous products formed from the diene-ene [2+2+1] reaction with a malonate tether have significant separation of the two methyl peaks. Based on this data, it appears that 50 is incorrectly assigned and is actually cis-fused and that 49 is correctly assigned as the trans-fused bicycle.

83. This step would additionally involve conversion of the dimeric rhodium catalyst into two monomeric rhodium catalysts. This is presumably facile in the presence of dienes.
84. This structure could be an intermediate or the transition state between two intermediates with rhodium coordinated to either the alpha or beta face of the alkene.
