32. In conditions identical to those of entry 2 in Table 2, 3-methyl-1-phenylbut-2-en-1-yl acetate was converted to (E)-dimethyl 2-(2-methyl-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-yl)malonate; and cyclohex-2-en-1-yl acetate gave the racemic substitution product.

34. 3-PhCHCHCHPh)(5)]Cl revealed that only two diastereoisomers were present in solution. Heavy signal overlapping did not allow us to unequivocally establish the structure of the two complexes 14 present in solution.
35. Energetic and geometrical analysis at the full DFT-level of the transition structures for all possible reaction pathways is, even today, extremely time-consuming in systems of such complexity. Calculations on the geometries of the intermediate π-allyl complexes are much quicker and has allowed rationalisation of the stereochemical outcome of asymmetric allylic substitutions
36. (see for example: (a) Kollmar, M.; Goldfuss, B.; Reggelin, M.; Rominger, F.; Helmchen, G. Chem. Eur. J. 2001, 7, 4913-4927;

38. See Experimental for details on the geometry optimisation of complexes 14 at the DFT level. We did not consider the diastereoisomers 14-exo-anti-anti and 14-endo-anti-anti in the calculations, as nucleophilic attack on these substrates by DMM or BZA would lead to (Z)-alkenes 7a or 7d, respectively, neither of which we observed.
