33. To obtain additional structural information, compound 1 a was also hydrogenated to the corresponding dibenzocyclooctane. See the Supporting Information for details.
34. 1 should probably be ascribed to differences in product loss during the purification steps.
35. NMR analysis showed no indications for allylic C=C double bond isomerization under the applied reaction conditions.
36. aromatic−H bonds has been reported, but is not accessible for carbene radical C and would not explain the double bond migration; see: M. R. Fructos, M. Besora, A. A. C. Braga, M. M. Díaz-Requejo, F. Maseras, P. J. Pérez, Organometallics 2017, 36, 172–179.
37. The allyl-phenyl substrate produced an unknown product. Replacing the ester with a hydrogen atom leads to indene and cyclopropane products. See the Supporting Information for details.
