29. Our attempt to follow the rate of the reaction of di(p-anisyl)- homobenzoquinone epoxide by NMR failed because of the very fast degradation. Interestingly, this reaction gave neither 2- nor 3-type product but yielded di(anisyl)methyl-substituted benzoquinone derivative 6, which seems to arise from the cyclopropane ring cleavage as well as the loss of oxygen atom. The structure of 6 was determined by the X-ray crystal structural analysis (see Supporting Information). CCDC 750112.

56. Recently, Wang and Tantillo suggested a stepwise reaction pathway for the acid-catalyzed transannular cyclization of 4 based on DFT calculations: Wang, S. C.; Tantillo, D. J. J. Org. Chem. 2007, 72, 8394-8401. However, the poor kinetic solvent effects for the reaction of 4 and especially for the present 1 explicitly rule out the intervention of the carbocation intermediate derived from the stepwise SN1 mechanism.
