16. The precise role of the solvent is not clear. However, we presume that the zwitterionic intermediate would be stabilized in electron-rich aromatics.
17. We confirmed that deacylation from N-methylacetanilide hardly occurred under the same conditions (90% recovery, 16 h). This result clearly indicates that indoles 3 were not generated through the catalytic cyclization of 2-alkynylanilines that might be yielded via the deprotection of the starting materials.
18. We confirmed that the reactions from both of these substrates proceeded simultaneously by monitoring thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and gas chromatography (GC-MS) analyses.
