33. Performing the reaction under reflux conditions did not diminish the selectivity and the yield, but led to slightly longer reaction times.
34. Lower catalyst loadings have been tried but lower selectivities and longer reaction times were obtained.
35. We were also able to upscale this reaction to > 1.5 mol.
