43. O-Acylation of the nitrilium species blocks unwanted reactions and enhances electrophilicity. It should be noted that entry 5 was carried out with a 2.5-fold excess of the nucleophile to increase the rate of reaction and the net yield. At 1:1 stoichiometry we found that prolonged exposure of this nitrilium salt, and possibly the imine product 19, to the acidic reaction conditions caused removal of the pivaloate ester and side reactions initiated by that unprotected phenol.
