33. Compound 16e corresponds to an open form of the bicyclic compound generally obtained. Its formation probably results from a gold-catalyzed oxepane ring opening.

37. Compounds 10 and 11 remain unchanged when they were separately treated with gold catalyst 13 thus precluding the formation of 11 from 10 and 10 from 11.
38. 2 catalysis, and even after prolonged reaction times, compound 10 was not transformed into compound 11 thus precluding an isomerization of 10 into 18 via 20.
39. (3) in products 10(D) and 11(D) was equally shared between the two available positions. This specific pattern tends to show that no memory of chirality is involved in the hydroalkylation of allene 9. The nucleophilic trapping of oxonium 17 should proceed in this case with no facial selectivity.
