41. A radical pathway via homolytic cleavage of the N-N bond of triazoline intermediates is also proposed, for examples, see references 6c, 6g, 6h, and: Broeckx, W.; Overbergh, N.; Samyn, C.; Smets, G.; L'abbé, G. Tetrahedron 1971, 27, 3527.

43. The structure of 2a was secured by X-ray crystallographic analysis (see Supporting Information). CCDC-710407 contains the supplementary crystallographic data for compound 2a. These data can be obtained free of charge from The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre via www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/conts/retrieving. html.
44. The introduction of a carbonyl moiety at C1 in isoindoles is indispensable for this isoindole formation. For an example, the reaction of 2′-vinylbenzyl azide under same reaction conditions gave a complex mixture without the desired isoindoles.
