34. Products with acyclic alkenes were too unstable/reactive to isolate.
35. Control reactions without Pd resulted in less than 5% conversion to 3a.

41. Control reactions show that the 2, 5 and 2, 6 isomers do not interconvert under the reaction conditions.
42. In some reactions with electron-poor substituents, the products began to compete with DCBQ as oxidant, so more oxidant was often required.
