36. 12 (0.020 mmol), and xylene (1.0 mL) was placed in a Pyrex flask with a magnetic stirring bar under an argon atmosphere. The mixture was then magnetically stirred at 130°C (oil bath temp.) for 5-10 h. After cooling to room temperature, column chromatograph on silica gel (eluent: hexane/EtOAc = 10:1-5:1) gave the products 2a-g.
