50. It is believed that a fine balance between acidity and nucleofilicity of the pronucleophile is essential for the successful transformation. See ref 9 for discussion.
51. We have also previously demonstrated a single example of a formal nucleophilic substitution of 1a with pyrrole. Studies on incorporation of other heterocyclic moieties in the three-membered ring via this approach are currently underway and will be reported in due course.
52. Although never observed directly, intermediate i was proved in the reaction of 5a with phenoxides. See ref 9.
53. We failed to detect any cyclopropane-containing products in this reaction.
