65. The discrepancy in the melting point measurements is probably due to the rate at which the measurement was conducted and also that isomerization was observed.

67. Oxazolone 15 was isolated in high purity, but its low stability rendered the compound unsuitable for full characterization. Furthermore, the colour change observed during the melting point measurement was most likely due to isomerization.
