46. For syn elimination of a β-heteroatom (Si, Zn) from sulfoxides and selenoxides, see:

52. Where possible E/Z ratios were determined using the following method: T. D. W. Claridge, S. G. Davies, M. E. C. Polywka, P. M. Roberts, A. J. Russell, E. D. Savory, A. D. Smith, Org. Lett. 2008, 10, 5433–5436. Analysis of purified materials by HPLC and GC gave E/Z ratios in good agreement with those determined from NMR analysis of the crude material.
53. Presumably, in the absence of silica gel filtration, lithium halide triggers anti-elimination of the β-selenoxyboronic ester intermediate.
54. (E)-(4-Iodobut-3-en-1-yl)benzene was also isolated.
55. It is preferable to utilize bromides because LiI (generated in situ by elimination of tBuI) can have a detrimental effect upon the E/Z selectivity of the selenium-mediated coupling process.
56. 2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol proved essential for obtaining high diastereoselectivity in the selenation of trisubstituted vinyl boronate complexes.

60. The two barriers refer to elimination from each of the two possible diastereomers at selenium.
