22. 2 gave the product in 69 % yield (Ref. [8]). In both cases, the same boronate complex is formed but reaction shown in Scheme 2 A is much less efficient.
23. The natural charge (NBO) on the migrating carbon is −0.363 for the N-Boc pyrrolidine but substantially higher (−0.594) when the N-Boc pyrrolidine is replaced by i-Pr. See the Supporting Information for full details of computational analysis.

31. Using Pd/C in the hydrogenation reaction resulted in the formation of a mixture of diastereoisomers of 3, presumably as a result of alkene isomerization prior to reduction. See Ref. [2c] and references therein.
