33. The reaction of 1a and 2a also produced 5a without Pd catalyst, however, the yield was lower (51%) and required long time (10 h) at higher temperature (110 °C). The explanation on the mechanism of the last step, dealkoxycarbonylation and concomitant aerobic oxidation, is not clear at this stage and needs further study.

37. Compound 5a was also generated from 4a without the influence of Pd catalyst in a similar yield (63%). The results state that the last step is a base-mediated process not Pd-mediated one, actually.
