18. Preparation of the 4,6-diiodide 12, dinitrile 13, and diethyl ester 14 of dibenzofuran has been previously described: Tsang, K. Y.; Diaz, H.; Graciani, N.; Kelly, J. W. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1994, 116, 3988-4005. Elaboration of diacid 9, dinitrile 13, diester 14, and diimidate 15 to the desired dihydroxy diamide 11 or DBFOX 6 was prevented by marginal solubility of starting materials or reaction intermediates. (equation presented)
