24. The structure of trimer 3x is not clear at present, but 3x is estimated to be two regioisomers of trimer 3a on the basis of the GC-MS analysis. The yield of 3x was calculated on the basis of the GLC analysis with assumption of the same relative intensity as 3a.

29. One of the reviewers mentioned a possibility for the formation of dimers by degradation of the trimer at high temperature because the selectivity of the dimer was increased with increase of the temperature. Because 3a is thermally stable under these conditions, we can rule out this possibility (see SI Figure S8).
30. Characteristic time-yield curves, initial formation of 2a followed by increase of 3a and 2b with decrease of 2a, was observed at 0 °C (see SI Figure S7).
