19. When a non-strained (not highly reactive) leaving group, such as an alkoxycarbonyl was used, 4 was not effective because the nucleophilicity of a Pd-phosphite complex is generally weaker than that of a phosphine complex. However, 4-methyl-3,5,8-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (A), a tricyclic phosphine ligand, was effective: T. Takahashi, Y. Jinbo, K. Kitamura, and J. Tsuji Tetrahedron Lett. 25 1984 5921 5924

Thus, the detail of the palladium-catalyzed reaction, such as mol % of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium, temperature, or equivalents of diethyl malonate were not specified: A.A. Cantrill, N.A.

24. Synthetic application of a MAC reagent with palladium catalyst in high γ-selectivity according to Ref. 5 was reported. They mentioned that the unmasking step from the MAC moiety to carbonyl functionality proceeded in greater yield under milder conditions than the step for the acidic hydrolysis of the cyanide group

35. Although very high stereoselectivity was observed, the double inversion mechanism has been generally accepted. Therefore, the proposed mechanism for stereochemistry is illustrated in Supplementary data in order to focus the discussion on the regiochemistry.
