41. γ-Substituted allenoates have been used also as two-atom components in 4 + 2 cyclizations: Meng, X.; Huang, Y.; Zhao, H.; Xie, P.; Ma, J.; Chen, R. Org. Lett. 2009, 11, 991

43. An alternative reaction pathway might involve the allylic phosphorus ylide II ′ as the reaction intermediate.
44. The six-membered ring might also be formed by a Diels-Alder type reaction between the olefin and a conjugated diene generated by isomerization of the allenoate. A Diels-Alder process is expected however to take place with retention of the geometry of the starting olefin. Moreover, we did not observe any cycloaddition product when heating a mixture of 3a and ethyl 5-phenyl-2,4-pentadienoate.
