19. The reaction mixture containing intermediate A also showed characteristic peaks in the area of C-O stretching vibrations (t-BuO). However, the mixture possibly contained t-BuOH (and t-BuOK), and the peaks in this area were not easy to assign.
20. 2O vapor was not constant (which it seldom is), a peak in this region might not be visible. Indeed, in our first experiments, the system contained so much humidity that a lot of noise in this region made it difficult to detect the acyl peak.
