47. The diastereomeric ratio was determined by GC-MS (see the Supporting Information). The major isomer was the cis product because of the effect of the methyl group in this reaction.

56. A sample of natural alopecuridine is no longer available. The NMR spectroscopic data of alopecuridine has not been reported to date. Our synthetic alopecuridinium trifluoroacetate 18 has similar NMR spectroscopic features to fawcettimine hydrobromide, see Ref. [2f]. Further confirmation is based on its transformation into sieboldine A.
