37. 2O instead of TMSOTf to afford 4d and 8c, respectively. (Figure Presented)
38. It should be noted that in case of an allylic alcohol with no substituent on the a position, the exo-enolate D' generated might undergo isomerization to the more stable endo-enolate I, however, this isomerization did not take place as a major reaction pathway. (Figure Presented)
39. 1-Alkyl-substituted allylic alcohols gave isomerized ketones only. It is likely the reactivity of the enolates is lower.
