29. The reaction of benzonitrile and DBU (3.0 equiv) in DMF produced 15-20% of benzamide (130-140 °C, 16 h). The reaction of 3a under the same conditions gave 25-30% of 5a (6 h).
30. Starting material 2a was prepared in 62% yield from 1a by using the method in Scheme 2, or in 64% yield by following the sequence in Scheme 3 more easily.
