23. After the optimisation of the synthetic route to OXC, we found in the literature an interesting study on the effect of the addition of small amounts of water in the palladium-catalysed amidation reactions. As in our case, the role of water was especially determining when the base was cesium carbonate and the solvents were either toluene or 1,4-dioxane. See:

25. The only related example reported in the literature was developed by Hartwig's research group and involves the palladium-catalysed α-arylation of 2-acetylthiophene with bromobenzene, rendering the corresponding product in 68% yield. See:

28. The tendency of the sulfur atom to strongly coordinate with palladium is well-established. It is anticipated that poisoning the catalyst in this manner will inhibit the reaction progress and therefore account for the long reaction times required for these transformations. See:
