45. Dimethyl carbonate and toluene were also good solvents, but DMF proved to be the most effective across a range of substrates.
46. III species.
47. The absolute configurations of the spiroindenes prepared in this work were assigned by analogy to those of 4 g-4 j, 4 o, and 4 r, which were determined by X-ray crystallography. CCDC 1415390, 1415391, 1415392, 1415393, 1415394, and 1415395 contain the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper.
