110. The proposed regiochemistry is consistent with literature precedent (e.g., radical addition of mercaptoacetic acid to limonene was reported to give 2:1 adducts, with sulfur forming bonds to the less-substituted carbons of the alkenes).

138. In contrast, the enantioselectivities observed in reactions of the ylides derived from C-2 symmetric sulfides are believed to be dependent not on ylide conformation but on ylide reactivity (Curtin-Hammett control): Silva, M. A.; Bellenie, B. R.; Goodman, J. M. Org. Lett. 2004, 6, 2559
