21. Treatment of 1 and 2 with LiHMDS for extended periods did not result in the direct formation of 6, suggesting that the enolate formed following the anionic oxy-Cope is not able to deprotonate the sulfone moiety.

24. Chair-shaped transition states generally predominate in [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements of acyclic substrates. See: Doering, W. von E.; Roth, W. R. Tetrahedron 1962, 18, 67-74 However, conformational constraints in cyclic substrates can lead to a preference for boat-shaped transition states. See ref 8a for a more extensive discussion.
