25. NOE analysis of the product provided no evidence for the interaction of the hydrogens of the phenyl ring with those of the mesityl group; see the Supporting Information.
26. We were aware that lithiation of a 5-iodoisoxazole isomer may well result in ring decomposition. Sakamoto, T.; Kondo, Y.; Uchiyama, D.; Yamanaka, H. Tetrahedron 1991, 47, 5111 However, given the yield and purity of crude products 4 and 22, we believe that this implies excellent regioselectivity in the preceeding cycloaddition.
27. 1H NMR spectra of some of the products contain a <5% impurity, which could not be separated and characterized but may be a minor regioisomer.
