33. Similar reactivity was observed by Miura and Satoh when examining 2-aryl oxazole substrates; see ref 8c
34. I -Pr and t -Bu benzamides provide no cycloadduct under these conditions
35. N -acyl benzyl amines do not undergo the cycloaddition under these conditions
36. Under these conditions, N -methylpyridine-3-carboxamide and N,2-dimethyloxazole-4-carboxamide afford cycloadduct in 0% and 8% yield, respectively
37. 2 conditions
38. Terminal alkynes are not tolerated under the current reaction conditions
39. Acetic acid is generated during the course of the reaction and the Cu salt is used as its hydrate, presumably providing the necessary water and acid to lead to hydrolysis of the acetal
40. This deuteration experiment was also conducted on N- t -Bu benzamide. In the absence of alkyne, no deuterium incorporation was observed after 16 h under these conditions suggesting the sterics of the tert -butyl group negatively affects its ability to metalate by rhodium. This also suggests that metalation occurs on nitrogen rather than oxygen
41. The apparent reversed regioselectivity in product 3u seems to contradict this model; further studies to address this dichotomy are ongoing.
42. During the preparation and review of this manuscript, similar and complementary studies leading to isoquinolone synthesis were reported by the groups of Keith Fagnou and Masahiro Miura; see
