18. We have observed this cyclization in buffers from pH 5-9 and the reaction reaches complete conversion immdediately at concentrations below 12.5 mM. In contrast, treatment of 1a in water/DMF, 90:10 (no buffer) for 24 h proceeds to only 70% conversion.
19. The δ-iodo and bromo derivatives also cyclize under these conditions, though much slower and in lower yields.
