16. When β-keto esters with a substituent at the active methylene moiety were used, insertion of alkynes into a carbon - carbon bond of β-keto esters occurred, and successive intramolecular cyclization gave 2-pyranones.

(9) The intermediate shown in Scheme 2 is thought to be a manganese- and rhenium-catalyzed ring expansion and carbon-chain extension reaction. See: Kuninobu, Y.; Kawata, A.; Takai, K. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 11368. See also ref 8.
18. Nakamura's group reported on the mechanistic investigations. In the paper, they claimed that the reaction must proceed via the formation of alkenyl-magnesium intermediate (Scheme 3).

26. 2, accelerated the Diels-Alder reaction between 8b and 9a, whereas MS4A slightly inhibited the Diels-Alder reaction. (15) In the first step of the reaction, 2-pyranone 8b was formed in 96% yield.

(20) The structure of 17b was determined by the comparison with the spectrum data of 17b, which was prepared by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between 4-methoxyphenylboronic acid and 2,3,5-trimethylphenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate.
36. In Scheme 5, the formation of β-keto acid was not detected by GC. The β-keto carboxylic acid might be decomposed (Krapcho reaction) or reacted with a species before decomposition under the reaction conditions. Therefore, the generation of β-keto carboxylic acid is only speculated.
