114. The opposite regiochemical outcome in the Ag-catalyzed (controlled by the sulfonyl group) and Cu-catalyzed cycloaddition (controlled by the acetyl group) could be due, at least in part, to the highly oxophilic nature of the copper Lewis acids, which would tend to reinforce the carbonyl regiochemical control.
115. Regioisomer 10 a can be separated by standard silica gel chromatography, isolated as a single diastereoisomer. For the regiochemical and stereochemical assignment of isomers 8 a and 10 a, see the Supporting Information.
116. Some interesting types of pyrrole-based natural products, such as prodigiosins and marineosins, present an electronically rich substitution at C-3 in the pyrrole unit.

118. A minor amount of the exo regioisomer adduct (13%) was detected in the crude reaction mixture. In the case of the preparation of pyrroles 14, a higher overall yield was obtained by previous separation of the pyrrolidine adducts 13, unlike the synthesis of the pyrrole series 9 and 11, in which the crude pyrrolidine intermediates were not purified by silica gel chromatography.
