36. [6b] 1-acryloxy-2-octene was obtained as by-product through the π-allylpalladium intermediate. But, in our system, only traces were detected.
37. It has been reported recently that a similar catalytic system is also effective for the aerobic reaction of allyl alcohol or allyl amide with vinyl ether. For examples, see Y. Kawamura, Y. Kawano, T. Matsuda, Y. Ishitobi, T. Hosokawa, J. Org. Chem. 2009, 74, 3048

50. The separation of the main exo isomer of 4 from its endo isomer is sometimes difficult by one-path column chromatography on silica gel. If necessary, the purification procedure must be repeated several times to separate them.

61. Now, we have succeeded in decreasing the ratio of 1-octene/acrylic acid from 10 to ca. 2 by continuous water removal from the reaction solution in a large scale-experiment. The details of these results will be reported elsewhere in the near future.
