25. Cooling the dianion mixture to -78°C prior to alkylation is necessary to prevent the formation of a dimeric species analogous to compound 6.
26. The pivaloyl protecting group is equally effective in the alkylation step, but failed to give any of the cyclisation products on warming. Pivaloyl protected aminopyridines have been used in DoM reactions previously, see: Turner J.A. J. Org. Chem. 48:1983;3401.
