55. Under the reaction conditions, alkene protonation followed by subsequent cationic cyclization is not a feasible process. Under typical cationic cyclization conditions (see ref 4d), cationic cyclization could be achieved in a separate step.
56. Structural assignments of 8 and 13 as well as the absolute configuration of 8 (after chemical derivatization) were secured by X-ray crystallographic analysis (see the Supporting Information for details).

58. 2 (0.500 mmol, 2.50 equiv), NaTFA (0.400 mmol, 2.00 equiv), and TFA (0.400 mmol, 2.00 equiv) in i -PrCN (1.0 mL) was slowly added over 7 h using a syringe pump at room temperature. After stirring had been continued for a further 17 h, the light-green solution was subjected to aqueous workup and purified by flash chromatography to afford the cyclization product.
59. Further evidence against a radical polar crossover reaction mechanism was obtained by the examination of a mismatched tricyclization substrate consisting of two trisubstituted electron-rich alkene moieties: significantly lower reaction efficiency (25% yield of the desired tetracycle) and only partial conversion were observed.
60. We assume levels of enantiocontrol similar to those observed for 5 and 16.
