50. Attempts to try and improve the yields of the cyclization products, including raising the temperature to reflux in THF or THF/dioxane were made, but no significant improvement in yield was observed (less than 5%); for a recent review on Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl chlorides, see: A. F. Littke, G. C. Fu, Angew. Chem. 2002, 114, 4350-4386;

52. The direct formation of benzyne intermediates for 1-bromo-2-chlorobenzene and 1,2-dibromobenzenes was ruled out by the following experiments: 1) no reaction was observed when mixing 1-bromo-2-chlorobenzene or 1,2-dibromobenzene with 2-mesitylmagnesium bromide and 2) no Diels-Alder addition product was observed when the reaction was carried out in the presence of furan (see the Supporting Information).
53. 1-Bromo-2-iodobenzenes have been reported to form benzyne upon treatment with Grignard reagents; for example, see: H. Hart, K. Harada, C.-J. F. Du, J. Org. Chem. 1985, 50, 3104-3110.
54. 0 with 1-bromo-2-iodobenzene with 2-mesitylmagnesium bromide took place much faster than their direct exchange benzyne-forming reaction.
