20. As illustrative examples, in the case of entry 3, [1] = 2.1 M, [2e] = 8.3 M; for entry 6 [1] = 0.9 M, [2g] = 7.1 M (all reactants assumed to have density = 1 g/mL). These aniline concentrations are 7- to 8-fold higher than those employed in the acetonitrile, DMF, and mesitylene reactions described above.
21. Autocatalysis in epoxide ring-opening under neat conditions has been proposed by Sharpless and co-workers (refs lb, 5a).
