19. The first and only intramolecular transition metal-catalyzed reaction developed prior to this discovery was Ni(0)-catalyzed: WENDER, P.A.; JENKINS, T. E.J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1989, 222, 6432.
20. The observed stereoselectivity matches that of the corresponding thermal reaction, for which only 20 product was observed after heating to 120°C for 3 days. Additionally, simple acid catalyst effects were ruled out by exposing the starting ether (21)to 0.1 equiv HCl over 1 h under optimized reaction conditions, in the absence of rhodium catalyst. Under these conditions the starting material was recovered unchanged.
21. This intermediate is also often depicted as an η3-type intermediate.
22. Pronounced rate and selectivity enhancements had previously been observed for Ni(0)-catalyzed cyclodimerizations as well as rhodium-catalyzed alkene hydroformylation reactions. For related references see: (Ni) VAN LEEUWEN, P.W.N.M.; ROOBEEK, CF.Tetrahedron 1981, 37, 1973.

36. This general strategy of activating the rho-dium(I) complex through hydrogenation of the dialkene complex was previously utilized by Bosnich and co-workers to enhance the rate of hydroacylation in the corresponding rhodium(I)-catalyzed transformation. For lead references see ref. 15 and pertinent references therein.
37. This catalyst system was also applied to the [5 + 2] carbocyclization reactions, discussed at length in Chapter 13 of this book.

41. Livinghouse and co-workers report a similar carbocyclization, using a dimethyl malonate diene-ene derivative, in which they obtained 6ee(69) with a highly sterically hindered DIOP-based ligand (ref. 25). The unaltered DIOP ligand was also highly efficient (83), but imparted poor enantio- control (10 ee).
42. To date there are more than 100 cyclo-octanoid-containing natural products. For a lead reference concerning this statistic, see: PETASIS, N.A.; PATANE, M.A.Tetrahedron 1992, 48, 5757.

63. Attempts to assign the relative configuration of the homodimer were complicated due to the extreme instability of the compound. Additionally, due to the increased reactivity of this substrate for homo-dimerization, there was no noticeable concentration effect between 0.1 and 0.0626 M.
