24. 4, TFA, or HOAc at 50-100°C over prolonged period of time resulted in the recovery of substrate 1a along with significant amounts of hydrolysis product (aniline).
25. The use of 1:1 and 2:1 mixtures of solvents including toluene, xylene, and tetramethylene sulfone along with Eaton's reagent resulted in sluggish conversion. The best conversion obtained was 3% after 20 h at 100°C in a 1:1 mixture of toluene and Eaton's reagent.

An attempt to synthesize 1,4-dihydro-7-methoxy-4-oxo-2-quinolonecarboxylic acid, methyl ester from a substrate that was derived from O-methoxyaniline afforded only 30% of one major cyclized product with several unidentified side products (LC/MS studies).
