37. The formation of the putative furochromenylium salt intermediate could not be observed under these conditions probably due to low stability.

However, formation of the desired iodofuran was found to occur at higher temperatures, suggesting that this addition reaction may then become reversible; Miller, S. I.; Noyes, R. M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1952, 74, 3403. This process is currently under investigation and details will be reported in a forthcoming paper.

Further work will be undertaken to investigate factors that may influence the product distribution in the Suzuki reaction so as to possibly drive this reaction toward the selective formation of the desired linearly fused products. This would also provide additional information concerning the isomerization process.
