28. The increased temperatures required for these reactions, relative to related carbonyl ylide cycloadditions, may be due to the increased steric requirements of the allene relative to olefins and alkynes.

36. While this analysis was only performed on the structures shown in Figure 2, all of the isolated products had very similar spectral characteristics within each diastereomeric series.

41. We attempted to use Marshall's Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of propargylic mesylates (Ref. [15a]) in order to construct enantioenriched 2e. Unfortunately, in our hands this method produced (S)-2e with moderate enantiopurity (72% ee). Because the diastereomeric relationship between 5 and 7 (and 6and 8) would complicate the determination of the enantiomeric excess in the product, we prefer to employ allenes with higher enantiopurity.
