[12] The reaction was carried out in a water bath to keep the temperature
below 25 ˚C. The photoirradiation was carried out using a super high-
pressure Hg lump equipped with a band path filter (365 nm) and a cold
filter that passes 290-460 nm light.

[22] No intermediates were observed in time course analyses on the
reaction of 1a by NMR and UV/Vis.
[23] A small amount of 3b was obtained in the photoreaction of 1b to give
2b. This was noted in the footnote of Figure 3.
