45. Under these reaction conditions the reaction did not go to completion. Products 1g (9%) and N-tosylaniline (12%) were isolated by column chromatography. Longer reaction times caused decomposition. The use of microwave radiation did not result in any major improvement.

50. See for instance the conversion of 1g into 3g. Also, minor amounts of 3 h were isolated from the gold-catalyzed reaction of 1h. figue presented
51. 3 in the presence of 2,4,6-tri-tertbutylpyrimidine (TTBP) supports this hypothesis. In this case, upon heating for 24 h in DCE, the reaction gives the corresponding diene 3a (25 %), which arises from a single cyclization rather the double cyclization product 2 a. For the use of TTBP in metal-catalyzed reactions, see: T. Schwier, A.W. Sromek, D. M. L. Yap, D. Chernyak, V. Gevorgyan, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 9868-9878.
52. -5 was prepared by a cross-coupling reaction, see the Supporting Information.
53. After heating at 60°C for 40 min only compound 5 was present in the reaction mixture. By extending the reaction time to 1 h it allowed the identification of significant amounts of unchanged 5, although some decomposition was evident by TLC This trend was still noticed when heating lasted foe 3 or 7 h. After 24 h, only trace amounts of 5 were present, and a complex mixture was formed without any evidence for the formation of a type-2 product.
