61. After cyclization, intermediate II could be formed after deprotonation (III→IV) and isomerization (IV→II). So far, all attempts to observe reaction intermediates by NMR methods have not been fruitful.
62. The use of the milder reaction conditions A is generally optimal for aldoximes (which tend to decompose at higher temperatures) or for cyclization onto terminal alkynes (which are typically more facile). To provide calibration on the usual reaction conditions, substrate la provided the desired pyridine 2a in 73 % yield after 2 h as determined by NMR methods, whereas only a 14% yield was observed after 6 h at 100 °C (NMR methods). By NMR methods, most of the mass balance proved to be unreacted starting material.
