Article 1 featured the reaction scheme that is shown below.  The transformation of 10 to 12 relates to our article (Mendoza, A.; Ishihara, Y.; Baran, P. S.; Nature Chem. 2012, 4, 21-25.), which features the same reaction transformation (Molecule 8 to 10).  The transformation from 10 to 12 in Article 1 is subjected to the same conditions as the transformation from 8 to 10 in our reaction.  T-BuOK, HCBr3, and pentane are added to Molecule 10 to form 11.  Molecule 11 is then heated at 120-140 °C in basic conditions, which causes the unstable three-membered ring to open and yield Molecule 12.  This differs from the reaction in our article, which uses PhNMe2 in the step from 11 to 12.  Molecule 12 needs to be formed in the reaction scheme from Article 1 because the Bromine is a good leaving group.  This allows molecule 13 to be formed with the addition of t-BuLi and THF at -78 °C, from which Molecule 6 can then be formed.

Article 1:
Halton, B.; Harvey, J. Synlett 2006, 13, 1975-2000.
Relevant Chemistry: 
The authors of Article 2 cited Article 1 because they used the same reaction and the same conditions in the article; they formed Molecule 10 from di-bromocyclopropane using PhNMe2.

Article 2:
Salim, H.; Piva, O. Tetrahedron Lett. 2007, 48, 2059-2062.
Relevant Chemistry:
The authors of Article 3 cited Article 1 because one of their reaction schemes involves the formation of a di-bromocyclopropane with CHBr3, which is similar to the reaction involved in Article 1.

Article 3:
Flynn, A. B.; Ogilvie, W. W. Chem. Rev. 2007, 107, 4698-4745.
Relevant Chemistry:

The authors of Article 4 cited Article 1 because Article 4 has the same reaction as Article 1—it involves the use of Grignard reagents and uses similar reaction conditions (CH2=CHMgCl, cyclohexane-THF).
