29. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no such examples with Brønsted acid catalysis. For a failed attempt using a proline-based carboxylic acid catalyst (with essentially no enantioselectivity), see: Wei, S.; Stingl, K. A.; Weiss, K. M.; Tsogoeva, S. B. Synlett 2010, 707-711
30. For a Brønsted acid catalyzed intramolecular elimination, rather than intermolecular nucleophilic substitution, see: Dickmeiss, G.; De Sio, V.; Udmark, J.; Poulsen, T. B.; Marcos, V.; Jørgensen, K. A. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2009, 48, 6650-6653
