75. 2=Me) as the 1-propenylboronic add was commercially available, However calculations were carried out on 6a as this has a more restricted conformational space, b) As suggested by one referee, we subjected to the usual Nazarov reaction conditions also the corresponding C3′-unsubstituted (i.e., lacking the n-propyl chain) dienone, but again no formation of the product was observed (degradation of the starting material instead took place).
76. This result is consistent with our previous findings on the failed electrocyclization of differently N-protected (N-Cbz) dienones analogous to 6. See reference [15d].
