30. The stereochemistry of the alkene isomers was assigned by comparison of NMR data with those of the closely related "OTBS" analogues. See ref 4c.
31. The alkene stereochemistry has a marked effect on the stereochemical outcome of the cyclizations of 3a. See Supporting Information and also ref 4b.
32. Surprisingly, the diphenylmethylsilyl analogue of rac- 3a and rac- 3b underwent cyclization to give products analogous to rac -7a and rac -8a in a 4:1 ratio, respectively (88% yield).

53. We found that C2-Symmetrical precatalysts with more sterically demanding substituents in the ortho -positions gave improved selectivity in additions to (2 H)-furanone.
