29. As suggested by one of the reviewers, it would be interesting check the outcome of an alternative synthetic strategy, i.e., formation of the biaryl ether followed by macrocyclization via intramolecular alkylation of the keto ester. The cyclization results will provide a direct evidence of our hypothesis as intramolecular recognition phenomena will be absent in this case. This study will be incorporated in a future full account.
