20. The formation of dihydronaphthofurans through rhodium-catalyzed cross-coupling of oxabenzonorbornadienes with an electron-poor alkyne (DMAD) was recently reported, see:, T. Nishimura, T. Kawamoto, K. Sasaki, E. Tsurumaki, T. Hayashi, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 1492-1493.
21. The propensity of endo-benzonorcaradienes bearing an electron-withdrawing group to undergo thermal isomerization to the more stable exo- benzonorcaradienes is well established, see for instance: W. Adam, M. Ahrweiler, M. Balci, O. Çakmak, C. R. Saha-Möller, Tetrahedron Lett. 1995, 36, 1429-1430

23. P. Müller, J.-L. Toujas, G. Bernardinelli, Helv. Chim. Acta 2000, 83, 1525-1534. The thermal stability of endo-benzonorcaradienes 13-15 could be attributed to the presence of a methyl substituent on the cyclopropane.
