53. The enolization was accomplished by treatment with TESCl and DBU at ambient temperature. See the Supporting Information for further details.
54. The Z- to E-ratios of amines 21 and 24 were slightly higher than the Z- to E-ratios of azide-containing silyl enol ethers 14 and 22. This suggests that the rate of cyclization of the Z-silyl enol ether is slightly slower than the cyclization rate of E-silyl enol ether.
