20. The addition of dimethyl sulfide to cyclohexenone in the presence of TMSOTf is 1,4-selective and reversible. The silyloxysulfonium salt produced is thermally unstable above -40 °C. At -20 °C the equilibrium lies entirely on the side of the cyclohexenone: (a) Kim, S.; Park, J. H.; Kim, Y. G.; Lee, J. M. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1993, 1188.

40. We were not able to obtain crystals of the 5,5-spirocycle for analysis by X-ray diffraction, and we were unsuccessful in finding NOE correlations to assign its stereochemistry. The spirocentre stereochemistry is therefore not known in this case.
