19. a) 5 has transient character. When only one equivalent of DDQ is used in the oxidation, keto aldehyde 6 and dihydrofuran 4 are isolated in equal proportions. Attempts to trap species 5 in situ in the presence of various dienophiles were unsuccessful;

21. 2 at reflux failed to aromatize substrates 4. Oxidation of 4a with three equivalents of pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) in pyridine/dichloromethane gave 15 % 6a along with 11 % of the highly unstable corresponding furan.
