54. We assumed that there are two factors contributing to the predominant formation of a five-membered ring over a seven-membered ring: (1) Baldwin's rule and (2) steric repulsion between the bulky barbituric acid moiety and the dimethyl group around the tertiary carbocation in the transition state for the formation of a seven-membered ring.
55. Zhou and Zhang reported a gold-catalyzed internal redox reaction involving C-C bond formation between a furanyl anion species and a carbocation generated by the hydride shift (see ref 2j).

57. One of the reviewers suggested the intermolecular hydride shift mechanism. The crossover experiment of d-3g and a naphthyl-type substrate revealed that the hydride shift occurred intramolecularly. For more detailed information, see the Supporting Information. We thank the reviewer for the suggestion of this experiment.
