26. More accurately, the β-lactams are thought to form from the excited state of the N, N -ethyldiazoacetamide used by Tomioka and others. This is an important distinction because our indan precursors would not suffer from this mechanism.

29. 2 in a glass vial did not yield any isolable products although >50% of the 1 reacted; although 4 is calculated to be 72 kcal/mol more stable than 2- E / E, compound stability or TRIR photolysis at 266 nm may account for these differences. Photolysis in neat 2,3-dimethylbutene did yield a carbene addition product (Supporting Information).
