41. 2O, a chiral diamine, and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid was used, see: F. G. Gelalcha, B. Bitterlich, G. Anilkumar, M. K. Tse, M. Beller, Angew. Chem. 2007, 119, 7431;

43. 3 was used.
44. 2, led to only trace amounts of N-phenyl pyrazole (3a).
45. An increase in the temperature from 110 to 135°C in method A resulted in lower yields of 3a than those observed with method B.
