72. We are thankful to one of the referees for their valuable suggestions. They suggested one way to determine the difference between the two mechanisms is to look into the phenyl group that has an electron-donating group at the ortho position. This should increase the steric bulkiness of the phenyl group and facilitate the formation, of the minium ion but slow down the 6re electrocyclization. Unfortunately, the present protocol is not applicable to the substrates bearing substituents at the ortho position of the phenyl rings.

74. The condensation is a catalyzed process, as can be judged by the outcome of the reaction mentioned in Table 1, Entry 11.
