49. Alternatively the diorganogold(III) species could be formed through oxyauration of a second molecule of the allenoate by B or by transmetalation between two gold(III) intermediates B.

56. In addition, no β-fluorinated y-butenolide was observed upon oxidative cyclization of the alkyl-substituted tert-butyl 2-methylocta-2, 3dienoate with Selectfluor. This reaction led to a complex mixture of products.
57. Efforts to prepare D were unsuccessful, see: C. Zhou, Z. Ma, Z. Gu, C Fu, S. Ma J. Org. Chem 2008 73 772-774.
58. Subjecting a mixture of Ig and 6g to the standard oxidative cyclization conditions led smoothly to 5 g after 24 h with no consumption of 6g.
