25. Cyanoacetanilides (7a-f) were prepared by reacting cyanoacetic acid with the corresponding aniline up to a 20-g scale (77-96% yields). For experimental details, see the Supporting Information.

39. 2 was used as the oxidant instead of t-BuOOH, we observed partial hydrolysis of the CN group of 9aa.
40. Note that a tertiary anilide must be used to ensure a smooth annulation reaction. This is because the reaction of the secondary anilide (R1 = H) does not proceed at all, most probably due to conformational reasons; see: (a) Pederson, B. F.; Pederson, B. Tetrahedron Lett. 1965, 2995.

43. The term "telescoping" has been used before to describe sequential multistep/multipot processes with shortened or omitted isolation procedures for the involved intermediates; see, e.g.: Dale, D.
