52. The product olefin geometry is determined primarily through thermodynamic control of the electrocyclic ring-opening reaction. However, the other relies on the influence of the cationic rhodium(I) complex or silica gel during the reaction or the product isolation, respectively.

58. Although the reaction of a tosylamide-linked terminal 1,6-diyne and 2 a was also examined, the corresponding formal olefination product was not obtained at all because of the rapid homo-[2+2+2] cycloaddition of the diyne.
