37. Of importance, polymerization reactions do not occur upon mixing oxetanes and rhodium(II) complexes.
38. The 1 M concentration was maintained throughout the study. It corresponds to a molar ratio of ca. 15:1 between oxetane molecules and diazocarbonyls 2.

42. Care should be taken to use neutral alumina instead of silica gel for the purification as unsaturated derivatives of type 3 are sensitive to acids.
43. 6] and diimine ligands were used. For use of these later complexes as diazo decomposition catalysts, see, M. Austeri, D. Rix, W. Zeghida, J. Lacour, Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 1394-1397.

49. This result contrasts with that obtained in the reaction of 2 e with 1,4-dioxane (Ref. [9d]). In that case, an important amount of cyclopropane adduct was observed along with the 18-membered macrocycle.

60. Interestingly, literature precedents on the photochemical decomposition of diazo derivatives in oxetane medium also indicate the preferred formation of 15-membered macrocycles albeit in lower yields. See Ref. [7].
61. H,H coupling constant occurring between the protons α to the ester and methyl groups is consistent with a cis and not a trans configuration of product 10.
