42. A monocyclized product was identified by FABMS. No ions corresponding to the bicyclization product could be detected. The monocyclized product was formed at approximately the same rate as the six-membered cyclic product 5, and no other product was formed after elongated reaction time. The formation of cyclic product 5 was previously found to be fast and effectively irreversible. Thus, we believe that treatment of substrate 10 under the analogous reaction conditions leads to the sixmembered monocyclization product as opposed to the 11-membered monocyclization product.
